        "content": "<p>Singapore (ANTARA) - The Microsoft Work Trend Index 2026 released\ndata on Tuesday (16\/6) stating that workers in Singapore are among the\nmost active users of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft said in a statement that its study found 66 percent of AI\nusers in Singapore are producing work that would have been impossible\nfor them a year ago, surpassing the global average of 58 percent. Among\n\u2018Frontier Professionals\u2019, that figure surged to 82 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Workers in Singapore also demonstrated a strong sense of ownership\nwhen using AI, with 88 percent stating they remain responsible for the\nthinking behind their work, slightly above the global average of 86\npercent. More than half of respondents identified critical thinking\nskills as the most important capability in an AI-enabled work\nenvironment.<\/p>\n<p>However, the report highlighted a gap between AI adoption by workers\nand organisational readiness. Although 78 percent of AI users in\nSingapore recognise the urgency of adapting quickly to AI, only 24\npercent believe their leadership teams have a clear alignment on AI\nstrategy, a figure below the global average of 26 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Singapore ranks second in the world on Microsoft\u2019s AI\nDiffusion Index, reflecting widespread AI adoption across the workforce.\n\u2018Singapore\u2019s workforce is among the most AI-ready in the world, with\nemployees already leveraging AI to unlock new ways of working while\nkeeping human judgement at the centre,\u2019 said Wee Luen Chia, managing\ndirector of Microsoft Singapore.<\/p>",
