The motion will span four areas meant to strengthen Singapore’s resilience: international cooperation, frontier technologies, integrated physical and digital infrastructure, and creating good jobs for Singaporeans.<\/p>\n
On technology, Ms Tin said Singapore should focus less on competing in foundational artificial intelligence models and more on applying AI within transport.<\/p>\n
She and Mr Chia said AI could better integrate transport systems across land, sea and air, optimising flows and improving efficiency across platforms. The MPs also intend to call for greater investment in AI research and development, alongside infrastructure that better integrates physical and digital systems.<\/p>\n
The motion will also look at how Singapore can prepare workers for changes brought by AI and other emerging technologies in the transport sector, with the goal of anchoring higher-value jobs while helping workers build the skills needed for future roles, Ms Tin said.<\/p>\n
Mr Chia said discussions with the GPC’s transport resource panel found that employers were more concerned about filling vacancies than job displacement, particularly in aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul, and in the maritime sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This may stem from the challenging nature of the work or a lack of awareness of and interest in these careers, the MPs said.<\/p>\n
“It’s not about job losses, it’s about how we can train, upskill Singaporeans, make greater awareness of the career opportunities in the transport sector,” Mr Chia said.<\/p>\n
The MPs also plan to propose stronger partnerships between large companies, small- and medium-sized firms and startups to accelerate Singapore’s transport strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
