Generative AI-driven jobs rise in SG

One in every 490 job postings in SG is related to Generative AI.

The number of job opportunities utilising generative artificial intelligence (AI) has doubled over the past two months and is almost five times higher than it was four months ago, according to Indeed.

Data from the employment platform showed that by the end of August, one in every 490 Singapore job postings was related to generative AI.

“It may not seem like a big number, but it is rapidly increasing. Artificial intelligence is hardly new, but it continues to evolve. This year, we’ve seen the emergence of large language models, such as Chat GPT, which create the illusion of real intelligence. These tools have the potential to fundamentally change the future of work and are already being incorporated into many Singapore jobs,” said Callam Pickering, APAC Senior Economist at Indeed.

“While we are very early in the emergence of these tools, particularly as they relate to job creation, this will be a trend to watch closely over the months and years to come,” Pickering added.
