Singapore to train 100,000 ‘AI-bilingual’ workers by 2029

Singapore plans to train 100,000 workers in AI skills by 2029 under the National AI Impact Programme (NAIIP). The initiative aims to enhance the capabilities of professionals in fields including accountancy and law, thus enabling them to integrate AI into their work processes. Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo said: “Not all of us can be AI engineers. But we can be ‘bilingual’ in AI and our own areas of expertise.” The programme will also support 10,000 enterprises in adopting AI technologies, with a focus on improving productivity and innovation across various sectors.
