Grab and OpenAI have launched GO Forward with AI in Singapore, a training program that aims to reach 30,000 driver-partners, delivery-partners, and merchant-partners across Southeast Asia over the next two years.

The program, run under GrabAcademy, will expand to Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines later this year.

It focuses on practical uses of AI, such as helping Grab merchants make better business decisions and helping Grab driver-partners and delivery-partners explore business ideas and new sources of income.

Participants will also receive three months of free ChatGPT Plus access.

The rollout builds on GrabAcademy’s existing training efforts, which already train merchants through an online portal.

Grab has also worked with Mastercard on a regional program to boost entrepreneurship among small businesses in Southeast Asia.

The Singapore launch comes as the city-state has been pushing to train workers in cloud and AI skills.
