MAS, IBF working on gen AI job impact map

Separately, the IBF has given out skills badges to 3,000 professionals.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Institute of Banking & Finance (IBF) are developing a job transformation map exploring the impact of generative AI on jobs and skills.

The GenAI JTM will assess not just the impact but also aim to prepare Singapore’s financial sector workforce to use AI to “augment their effectivenesss,” said Chia Der Jiun, managing director of MAS.

“Looking ahead, the financial sector will continue to evolve, driven by key structural drivers including sustainability and technology innovations such as GenAI,” said Chia, speaking at the IBF’s 50th anniversary evening gala held on 13 September 2024.

Chia said that the partnership between IBF, trade unions, and financial institutions is important in supporting workforce transformation amidst the evolving financial sector landscape and ensuring that Singapore is in a position to thrive.

IBF has earlier launched the IBF Golden Jubilee ITE Scholarship, which benefited 54 students of the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). recipients received a study award, and a 5-month internship in the financial sector that will begin in October 2024.

Chia also highlighted the IBF Skills Badge, which recognises individuals’ mastery of sustainable finance skills. To date, about 3,000 professionals have received their skills badge, he said.

IBF is also exploring a Work-Study Diploma in finance to create alternative career pathways for ITE students.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
