AI job postings surge 23% in January

January demand nearly doubled compared to figures from a year earlier.

Demand for artificial intelligence-related skills has nearly doubled in January, but firms aren't investing in proper tools, risking data leaks.

Job postings mentioning artificial intelligence surged 23% in January, nearly twice that of a year earlier, capturing demand for AI-related skills, a report from Indeed Singapore revealed.

Around two-thirds of job postings in data & analytics roles mention artificial intelligence, ahead of around half in software development, 38% in scientific research and 38% in industrial engineering.

Usage has become more broad-based over the past year, with 53% of occupational categories in January having at least 10% of job postings mentioning AI, compared to 27% a year ago.

The report reflects how much workers are now leaning on AI. A separate report by Qualtrics 68% frequently use it at work, and 57% feel hopeful or excited about AI. 41% say AI enables them to accomplish things they previously couldn’t do.

However, the report reveals a gap in organisational technology investment. Only 14% strictly use company-provided AI tools. This means most are using what is called shadow AI, or unauthorised AI tools, running the risk of data leaks.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
