More leaders joined AI trainings in 2025 but confidence gaps remain: report

Despite this increase, only 47% of companies report offering tailored AI programs.

Leadership participation in artificial intelligence training in Singapore surged to 62% in 2025, a significant jump from 42% in 2024, according to a General Assembly report.

Despite this increase, fewer than half (47%) of companies report offering tailored AI programs specifically for their leadership teams.

Confidence in making AI-related vendor decisions rose to 74% amongst leaders, with 57% reporting knowledge of responsible AI use; but security confidence lags with only 30% of leaders expressing being ‘somewhat confident’ in secure AI use, whilst 13% are ‘not at all’ to ‘not very confident’.

Encouragement from leaders for teams to adopt AI at work also climbed sharply to 73%, yet, only 28% of companies provide regular AI training for their general employees.

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
