Fewer than one in five Singaporeans feel highly confident spotting AI-generated scams and deepfakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nearly seven in 10 Singaporeans use AI tools to navigate significant life events and experiences, but fewer than one in five feel highly confident identifying AI-generated scams and deepfakes, according to a TrendLife study.<\/p>\n The study found that Singaporeans use AI more actively than respondents in other surveyed markets. About 56% use AI tools to write emails or documents, compared with the global average of 33%.<\/p>\n Another 49% use AI<\/a> for travel planning, more than double the global average of 22%, whilst 40% use AI for online shopping, compared with 30% globally.<\/p>\n However, the same life events are also seen as periods of heightened vulnerability to scams, fraud, and identity theft. Respondents ranked big-ticket purchases and investments, such as cars and real estate, as well as job searches and starting a business, as amongst the most vulnerable moments.<\/p>\n About 55% of Singapore respondents said they share sensitive personal information online during significant life events, including NRIC numbers, dates of birth, and phone numbers.<\/p>\n Awareness of digital risks is high, with 98% expressing concern about exchanging personal data online and 92% saying they understand the risks of sharing personal information with AI tools.<\/p>\n Singaporeans also reported stronger basic online protection habits than the global average. Around 66% use two-factor authentication, 57% check and access only secure URLs, and 53% monitor bank accounts for suspicious activity.<\/p>\n Despite this, only 20% said they were very or extremely confident in identifying an AI-generated scam or deepfake. Only 27% said they were very or extremely confident that they would know how to respond if they experienced identity theft.<\/p>\n The study also found demand for stronger digital protection tools. About 63% said they would use tools that alert them if a family member is being targeted by cybercriminals, whilst 73% said they would adopt AI-powered tools to help children use AI more safely.<\/p>\n The study surveyed 10,350 consumers across nine markets from 25 March to 3 April, including 526 consumers aged 18 and above in Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Fewer than one in five Singaporeans feel highly confident spotting AI-generated scams and deepfakes.
