Prof is right. My answers:Professor Tan does indeed is of scholastic pedigree, however, it is just his perception and hypothesis. If he is so accurate in PREDICTIONS, the insignificant nobody me knows for sure that there will long queues at his home for his next predication on 4D or Toto numbers....
1. AI is not something that dropped from the sky. It takes Humans to figure out the algorithms to make it work, and to correct them on a daily basis, for quality control, checks and errors. Thus Humans would still be needed.
2. AI ultimately runs on machines. It will still need MANUFACTURING to produce such machines, along with data centers and such requires Humans - engineers, technicians, sales and biz development teams, bricks and mortar shops, sales staff, accountants, etc, etc.
3. There is NO perfect AI systems, as it is created by flawed mortals, and there lays COMPETITION in a FREE MARKET. As with competition, there will be Humans need to form up the ENTIRE SUPPLY chains.....thus Humans will still be needed.
4. PrezTrump had shown the World HOW TARIFFS system can save National jobs. So what if China produces such AI systems cheaper? Just add a few percentages, even up to 500%, will ensure one's National economy is protected.
5. Singapore is a port city, whereby ALL points of the compass meets for trade TRANSHIPMENTS. And thus, there will be jobs galore in the logistic trades and its supply chains, so much that FOREIGN workers and talents are needed...
What the heck is PATHETIC revenue from COE, which is meant to curb land use so as to provide MORE homes for the living than cars, when FAR, FAR MORE BILLIONS are achieved by PSA, whereby being a social Public biz entity, it's workers are paid 6 months bonuses EACH YEAR, WITH FAR MORE BILLIONS placed in our National Treasury ?
So, chill folks.....however, if anyone here knows who can predict the next 6 numbers for the next Toto draw, do drop a line to Charity orgs. They sorely need it.....
1. Yes, AI have to make adjustments. But the rate of improvement is crazy fast. Look at AI v2023 Vs today.
2. Manufacturing will not be done here. Data centres are useless investments that don't employ many local workers.
3. Not as much as today.
4. He's cancelling many tariffs already
5. Low level jobs only. All the logistics planning by AI
