AI will affect jobs unevenly. Singapore’s response must be just as targeted

Singapore's parliamentary debate in May addressed the need to avoid 'jobless growth' as AI adoption accelerates, with Minister Ng Chee Meng emphasizing that AI's impact on workers cannot be left entirely to the market. Elon Musk has described AI as a 'supersonic tsunami' that could rapidly replace computer-based work, making employment optional. The article argues that while generative AI may weaken career ladders, embodied AI can address labour shortages, and Singapore's response must be targeted to the uneven effects of AI on jobs.
