AI Disruption Singapore Survey Shows 9 in 10 Firms Affected

AI disruption Singapore trends are intensifying, with nine in ten organisations reporting AI-driven role changes or displacement, according to an IDC survey commissioned by Deel.

Globally, 99% of firms have adopted AI, and nearly 70% have moved beyond pilots. In Singapore, 66% expect to slow entry-level hiring over the next three years, while 48% recorded the region’s highest displacement rate.

The study found 75% of companies say shrinking entry-level pathways make grooming future leaders harder, and 70% cite fewer on-the-job development opportunities for juniors.

Although three-quarters of Singapore firms are investing in AI training, they face low employee engagement and budget constraints.

The AI disruption Singapore findings underscore rapid labour-market reshaping as automation accelerates.
