Singapore wants to become a leading global AI hub. But as AI moves rapidly from experimentation into real-world deployment, what happens next for businesses, workers and the economy?

Following Asia Tech x Singapore, Lynlee Foo speaks with Timothy Chin, Assistant Chief Executive (International) at the Infocomm Media Development Authority, about why “AI is no longer optional,” the growing pressure for companies to move beyond AI pilots, and whether Singapore is moving fast enough to stay competitive.

They explore agentic AI, workforce anxiety, OpenAI’s expansion into Singapore, AI governance and the skills workers may now need in an economy increasingly shaped by automation and AI-assisted decision-making. It also examines the reaction to recent comments by the Standard Chartered CEO on “lower-value human capital”, and why many workers still feel uneasy about where AI may be heading.
