CEOs see potential in profitability, innovation and jobs in Generative AI

However, ethical regulations still need to be fixed.

Singaporean bosses view a potential in Generative AI from profitability (28%), innovation (20%) and job creation (16%), a KPMG study showed.

However, most CEOs (64%) said ethical challenges are their top concern when adopting Generative AI in their companies. With 68% of them saying that the lack of current regulations and direction for the tech should be addressed before they become fully on board with the idea.

Despite concerns, the majority of CEOs globally (69%) consider generative AI as their top investment priority in the medium term, the study also revealed.

Other results showed that about half (48%) of Singapore CEOs say they expect to see a return on their investments in three to five years.

The research garnered insights from 1,300 CEOs from the world’s leading firms, including in Singapore.

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.
