Singapore is shifting its AI strategy from simply adopting AI tools to ensuring they deliver practical, safe, and trusted outcomes. Enterprise AI adoption rose from 14.7% in 2024 to 23.5% in 2025, but the focus is increasingly on redesigning workflows, training workers, and putting safeguards in place. The article highlights the importance of “AI bilingual” workers who combine AI knowledge with practical industry expertise. Under Bridge2Tech, students and workers are encouraged to gain hands-on experience applying AI to real workplace problems. SP is also cited for its responsible industrial AI programme, which supports practical AI implementation across industries.
