Singapore companies are moving faster than global peers to adopt artificial intelligence (AI), but gaps in governance and data foundations risk limiting returns, according to PwC’s new study.

The Global AI performance study reveals that 67% of Singapore respondents reported a higher risk appetite for AI investment, compared with 41% globally.

A further 43% are using AI to compete beyond their core industries, more than double the global figure of 20%. The survey polled 1,217 senior executives between July and September 2025, including 30 respondents from Singapore-listed firms with revenue above US$100 million.
