Its economic success has been driven by its emergenceas a major hub for trade and business, alongside continuous technological innovation.Executive Summary. +8%The AI Opportunity.AI can support the next 60 years of Singapore’s growth, representing the next stage inthe country’s economic journey. With a skilled workforce that is already making use of AI,Singapore is well-positioned to take full advantage of this transformational technology.Optimising themanufacturing and financesectors.Thetop two sectors with the greatest opportunity from AI are Singapore’smanufacturingandfinancesectors. In total, we estimate that AI could help grow themanufacturing sector byS$27 billion(US$20 billion)and the financial services sector inSingapore by almostS$8.4 billion(US$6.3 billion).AI technologies will supporthigher wages.AI could save Singaporean workers almost21working daysa year by automating routineadministrative tasks. This allows workers to focus on higher value tasks with greaterearning power, leading to estimated higher wages ofover 8%. Maximising the Opportunity.Singapore is leading the region when it comes to AI adoption. To maintain its comparative advantage, Singapore must:of current AI users said they had largely chosento use AI tools at work themselves, whilesaid they had been encouraged to do so by theircompany leadership. This reveals a “grassrootsadoption” dynamic, and a need for a greatersupply of formal skills training.58%27%Formalise support forworkers.Meet demand forskills training.82%of Singaporean workers expressed an interest intaking up additional training to help them betteruse AI tools at work. Workers were most interestedin practical training that would help them to use AIto automate repetitive tasks.ManufacturingBridgeadoption gaps.There is a10%gap in self-reported regular use ofAI between men and women, along with a15%gapbetweenuniversity graduates and non-graduates.In order to maximise the potential from AI, Singaporemust work to close these adoption gaps.Executive Summary:Maximising the Opportunity. Finance Developing AI Responsibly.Singaporeans identified fears over misinformation, cybersecurity, and worsening data privacyas the potential outcomes of increased AI uptake that concerned them the most. Addressingthese challenges will be vital in order to foster public confidence in the AI transformation.AI can help to combatcybersecurity threats.While AI could create new risks, it can also be a powerful cybersecurity ally. The combinationof more effective prevention and faster response times from AI driven solutions could helpprevent over 60% of the costsfrom cybersecurity threats and fraud.While the majority of adults are optimistic about the impact of AI on the country,89%agree that it should be developed responsibly. Building trust will require responsibledesign and clear safeguards to ensure AI benefits everyone.Singaporeans want to seeAI developed responsibly. Offsetting the effects of anageing population.By helping workers boost productivity and get more done, AI could offsetoverhalf of potential labour shortagesin Singapore driven by an ageing population.Our research shows that today’s AI technologies are likely to augment 76% ofworkers, while fewer than 9% will need career transition support.Accelerating R&D in thehealthcare sector.By integrating AI tools into pharmaceutical R&D, we estimate that Singapore’sbiotech firms couldreduce the average time for drug discovery byover 40%.This can help reduce the overall cost of drug development while also reducingthe time it takes to deliver cures to the people who need them.Securing Singapore’s Future.AI can help Singapore sharpen its competitive edge — strengthening its position as Southeast Asia’shub for trade and innovation. It can accelerate breakthroughs in medical research, and help the countrynavigate the long-term fiscal and workforce pressures of an ageing population.Helping companies navigatenon-tariffbarriers to trade.Businesses can find it challenging to navigate theregulatory requirements of exporting beyond theirborders. By helping ease current barriers to tradefrom different languages and aligning with differentregulatory systems worldwide, we estimate AI couldhelpboost exports for Singapore by over S$380billion(US$280 billion).Executive Summary:Securing Sinapore’s Future. The AIOpportunity.AI can support the next 60 years of Singapore’s growth, representing the next stage in thecountry’s economic journey. With a skilled workforce that is already making use of AI, Singaporeis well-positioned to take full advantage of this emerging technology.The AI Opportunity.
