SenseTime downsizes SG office space amid competition

SenseTime Group Inc., a Chinese AI firm, is reducing its operations in Singapore.

The company is relocating from its downtown office in Frasers Tower to a smaller space in a less central area.

This decision follows increased competition in the AI sector, especially with the rise of generative AI technologies like ChatGPT.

SenseTime has also faced challenges, including the loss of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. as a financial backer in 2023.

The downsizing also reflects broader trends in Singapore’s office market, which has seen declining demand as businesses focus on reducing costs.
