Singapore Telecommunications : Samsung and Singtel launch film on power of technology to connect people

Campaign to also support small businesses and entrepreneurs to grow their brand

Singapore, 6 May 2024 - Samsung Electronics Singapore (Samsung) and Singtel have released a film, titled "AI Do, aimed at highlighting the power of technology to bring people together. The 3.5-minute film, directed by Golden Horse Award nominee, He Shuming, draws inspiration from Singtel Group's purpose to empower every generation and the many versatile uses of the Galaxy AI. The film is also part of Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra and Singtel's "Hello Possibilities" brand campaigns.

In "AI Do", Hee Joo and Aidan, who are Korean and Singaporean respectively, are getting married. Together with their families, they tackle a long task list as well as language and cultural differences in the lead-up to their wedding. To overcome their challenges, the characters use various AI features available on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, supported by Singtel's strong and stable 5G connectivity. Watch the film here to find out what happens. (See Annex A for key features of the phone.)

As an extension of the film, from 10 to 16 May, Singtel and Samsung will be inviting audiences to submit original ideas for a creative new Peranakan pastry featuring the most unlikely combination of flavours via its Instagram channel. Chef Yeo Min, the creator of the pastries featured in "AI Do", will reveal the winning pastry on TikTok on 19 May between 7pm to 9pm. She will also be livestreaming how to decorate the pastry in the style as seen in the film at Singtel's Tik Tok Creator House at 313@Somerset - the world's first and only livestream studio in a telco store. This contest is part of Singtel's ongoing efforts to support small businesses and budding content creators to build their brands and grow their businesses.
