AI adoption is increasingly prevalent across industries in the Asia-Pacific region.
A new study by Aon reveals that while AI-driven layoffs are a concern in Asia’s finance and other sectors, the technology’s overall impact on employment is more nuanced. Of 504 surveyed companies across the Asia-Pacific, 74% have deployed or are piloting AI, with 84% using it to perform specific tasks without fully replacing jobs. However, 25% of firms expect AI to lead to some job displacement. This comes as companies like Meta have made layoffs (including in Singapore) while investing heavily in AI. Despite this, many are adding AI-related roles without cutting existing positions, indicating a mixed outlook for the region’s job market.
