Singaporean employees are more likely to delegate as much work as possible to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to lessen their workload. The findings came from Microsoft’s third annual Work Trend Index, titled ‘Will AI Fix Work?’. The report, which polled some 31,000 people across 31 countries including Singapore, made three observations.

One of the observations alluded to a new AI-employee alliance in that employees are more eager for AI to lift the weight of their work amid concerns about their jobs being replaced by AI. Within the report, 81% of Singaporean employees indicated that they would delegate as much as their work to AI to lessen their workload, compared to the 78% of employees polled across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

In Singapore, 87% of the people polled said that they would be comfortable with using AI for analytical work while 81% of them are comfortable with using AI for the creative aspects of their role. About 85% of the group said that they would use AI for administrative tasks. This is similar to their peers in APAC, where 85% said that they would use AI for analytical work. 81% of the respondents in APAC would use AI for creative aspects while 83% of them would rely on AI for administrative tasks.
