This growth in AI-linked careers comes as the Singapore government declared plans to prioritise employment pass (EP) applications for a number of roles that it recently added to its Shortage Occupation List (SOL) released in March this year, Indeed said. Some of the jobs included list include AI scientists, data scientists and software engineers.

Indeed said AI roles are usually well paid above the average monthly salary of $5,070 in Singapore. For example, the average monthly salary for senior data scientists is $10,395, followed by software architects at $10,071, data engineers at $8,171, data scientists at $8,108, and machine learning engineers at $7,776.

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.
