Standard Chartered accelerating gen AI, data training for workforce

Over 15% of SC’s Singapore-based employees have undergone AI programme courses.

Standard Chartered (SC) is accelerating training in the areas of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) and data amongst its workforce in Singapore and globally.

The bank has invested more than S$4.5b to create different training programmes and initiatives with the goal of helping its employees “work faster, better, and smarter,” according to a press release on 13 October 2025.

Amongst the investments include a on-stop AI Learning Hub launched last November 2024, which offers a foundational AI literacy course accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF).

Over 15% of SC’s Singapore-based employees have undergone one or more of the AI programmes on offer, the bank said.

The bank has also launched its own gen AI tool SC GPT in March of 2025, including Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
