Is AI a friend or a foe to Singaporeans?

According to 41% of Singaporeans, one of the downsides of AI is that it may replace their current job in the next five years.

Only 54% of Singaporeans also believe that companies using AI will protect their personal information.

Singaporeans' trust level towards AI is still higher than those in Japan, US and France, where only 32% trusted AI companies to protect their data.

The survey was not without optimism for the future of AI, with 65% of Singaporeans expressing excitement for products and services that use it.

With AI seeing rapid growth in popularity, two-thirds of Singaporeans claim to have a good understanding of what AI is, whilst 57% say they are aware of the AI products and services available to them.

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.
