Six in 10 employers are preparing for an AI-driven future: report

However, only 23.1% say their companies were supportive of AI changes.

Six in 10 (62.4%) employers are preparing for an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven future through data analysis and AI courses, according to a report by Reeracoen and Rakuten Insight Global.

This aligns with government initiatives including a $1b investment plan under the Smart Nation 2.0 initiative to enhance the nation's AI capabilities and adoption.

However, only 23.1% said their companies were supportive of AI changes, indicating a critical need for enhanced corporate strategies to foster employee readiness.

Moreover, 53.5% of employees in Singapore fear being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) with Gen Z showing the highest levels of anxiety.

"Our findings show that while AI adoption is accelerating, companies must take proactive steps to support their employees' upskilling,” Kenji Naito, group CEO of Reeracoen Group, said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
