Künstliche Intelligenz: Einzigartiger Pakt: Singapurs Banken versprechen KI-Umbau ohne Massenentlassungen
Die Finanzmetropole sieht sich als einer der globalen KI‑Vorreiter. Die Politik sorgt sich vor Jobverlusten. Staat, Banken und Gewerkschaft sollen das gemeinsam verhindern.
Singapur's major banks, OCBC and UOB, have pledged to expand their workforce through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), rather than resorting to mass layoffs. The banks have introduced a unique pact between the government, financial institutions, and trade unions, aiming to ensure the AI implementation benefits employees rather than displacing them. This effort is part of a broader plan to make Singapore a global leader in AI while safeguarding job security.
The banks have introduced KI-Avatars, Wendy and Wayne, which provide personalized advice and portfolio analysis to high-net-worth clients, reducing the need for human customer service representatives. OCBC's CEO, Tan Teck Long, stated that the bank hopes AI will help expand the workforce instead of shrinking it. Similarly, DBS Bank has trained all 40,000 of its global employees on AI fundamentals and has identified 11,000 individuals suitable for new roles created by AI adoption.
Meanwhile, the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), responsible for implementing government-sponsored training initiatives, is working with the trade union NTUC to train 100,000 financial professionals in AI skills. These efforts aim to ensure that Singapore's financial sector remains robust and competitive in the face of AI-driven change, while preserving jobs and fostering skill development.
