[SINGAPORE] Grab has been a consistent advocate of artificial intelligence, having posted monthly in its internal blog about the different ways it uses AI since January 2024.
CEO Anthony Tan has even credited AI for maximising efficiency in a recent fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, as it allowed the super app to double the number of cities it serves while reducing operations headcount.
“We have been deploying auto-adaptive technology to optimise our core marketplace in each city, enabling us to scale in a lean and agile fashion,” said Tan.
