Singapore has been working with AI since years back. The public service sector started using chatbots with Microsoft in 2016. Today, the use of AI is increasingly adopted in many of Singapore’s key industries such as education, healthcare, and manufacturing. It is no wonder more than half of the organisations surveyed by the World Economic Forum cite AI and Big Data as a key focus of their upskilling and reskilling efforts in the next five years. Other than AI and Big Data, many of the top skills are soft skills such as Creative Thinking and Curiosity.
