Nearly half of SG employees still 'uncomfortable' to admit AI use

Despite this, 88% feel an urgency to become an AI expert.

More than four in 10 (45%) Singaporean workers reported feeling uncomfortable admitting artificial intelligence (AI) use, fearing they might be seen as incompetent, lazy, or cheating, according to a Slack report.

Despite uncertainty around AI in their current workplace, 88% feel an urgency to become an AI expert. However, 63% of workers in Singapore have spent less than five hours total learning how to use AI.

Moreover, Singaporean employees expect AI to help them do more work on existing core projects, administrative tasks, and learning and skill-building.

Additionally, 87% say that a prospective employer’s ability to provide and enable workers with AI tools is a factor in their job search.

According to McKinsey, AI could increase corporate profits by $4.4t a year and Salesforce research finds that sales teams using AI are 1.3x more likely to see revenue increases than those who do not utilise it.

“It’s important that leaders not only train workers to use AI but encourage employees to talk about it and experiment with AI out in the open,” said Christina Janzer, SVP of Research and Analytics at Slack.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
