AI transition with no jobless growth
The PAP Government has affirmed its commitment that the transition to an AI powered economy will not come at the expense of workers and their jobs. It will support workers to seize new opportunities and ensure that displaced workers bounce back.
“The Government has set up clear ambitions to strengthen an AI-enabled economy. But for many Singaporeans on the ground, two questions remain: How can I take part in the AI growth and benefit from it? How can I translate it into fair opportunities for me?” said NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng, who is also MP for Jalan Kayu SMC.
MP Ng brought the worker-centric Motion “An Artificial Intelligence Transition with no Jobless Growth” to Parliament, supported by fellow PAP MPs Saktiandi Supaat (Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC) and Yeo Wan Ling (Punggol GRC) as well as NMP Mark Lee.
