Singapore Aims to Triple AI Workforce to 15,000 by 2028
Singapore is set to triple its AI workforce to 15,000 professionals by 2028, as the government and businesses collaborate to harness the power of artificial intelligence. This ambitious initiative, led by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO), aims to ensure the city-state remains at the forefront of the AI revolution.
The plan to triple AI talent was announced following Singapore's recognition of AI's importance in 2019. Since then, the government has been working tirelessly to develop relevant AI curricula through partnerships between industry and academia. The EdTech Masterplan 2030 is a key part of this strategy, integrating AI literacy into primary and secondary education, focusing on prompt engineering, data ethics, and digital discernment.
Continuous learning is at the heart of Singapore's AI strategy. Businesses are encouraged to foster a culture of curiosity and adaptation, recognizing that AI will transform not just work, but also the way people live, interact, and think. The government aims to cultivate widespread AI literacy and ensure equitable access to AI tools and skills, driving shared prosperity and innovation.
With a target of 15,000 AI professionals by 2028, Singapore is well on its way to becoming an AI-fluent nation. By investing in people alongside computing power, the city-state is positioning itself to drive innovation, transform industries, and solve societal challenges through the power of artificial intelligence.
