[SINGAPORE] A new council bringing together Singapore’s unions, employers and government will be formed to tackle artificial intelligence’s (AI) impact on jobs and businesses, while also helping workers navigate the changing job landscape more broadly.
The Tripartite Jobs Council (TJC) was jointly announced on Thursday (Apr 30) by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), ahead of May Day on Friday.
Speaking to the media, Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said the council would take a coordinated approach across three key areas: supporting businesses in adopting AI in a way that drives growth and protects jobs; providing broad-based and sectoral training to raise AI fluency among workers; and providing targeted transition support for at-risk workers.
