The Government is hard at work to secure jobs for local Singaporeans amid the progress and the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information Jasmin Lau said on Wednesday (July 8).
“At this moment, I can understand a lot of people feel anxious because it’s grey blur and not everyone feels that the future is one of hope and possibility for them,” said Lau, who is also Minister of State for Education.
“But it will come,” she continued. “Give us some patience.”
The government, she added, is also working very hard to put together their AI missions to ensure that “across our strong growth sectors we [will] continue to have jobs for our local Singaporeans”.
Lau was speaking at the opening ceremony of AI Singapore’s AI for Good Festival, running from July 8 to 10 at Republic Polytechnic.
