Nearly 7 in 10 workers fear blockchain will steal their jobs

70% want to avoid losing to machines by learning the technology.

Seven out of 10 or 65% of Singaporean workers fear that blockchain technology could lead to job displacement within the next five years, professional services and training provider ComtelPro reported in a survey.

Almost 70% of workers want to learn the technology to avoid being outpaced.

Further, 80% of workers also want to learn Cloud Technology, followed by the Internet of Things (79%), Big Data (75%), Artificial Intelligence (74%), Cybersecurity (72%), and 3D printing (62%).

Meanwhile, 32% of workers think that digital and technological changes could lead to job displacement.

“For many, the advancement of automation and digitalisation brings a sense of uncertainty, as they feel their role may be affected by the emerging technologies’ increasing efficiencies,” said Satish Kosaraju, authorised representative of ComtelPro.

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.
