Motion: Yip Hon Weng on artificial intelligence transition with no jobless growth
AI adoption follows a deliberate track - it must first build AI fluency and use that fluency to drive workflow and job redesign and ensure that this redesign leads to tangible shared outcomes for workers. MP Yip Hon Weng, who made this call in parliament on Wednesday (May 6), pointed out that if AI raises output but weakens livelihoods, that is not transformation but exclusion. He wanted to know if the government can establish clear conditionalities for support schemes - if public grants are funding a company's pivot, they should be explicitly tied to a national human-centric scorecard covering the scale of workflow redesign, wage improvements, staff retention and upskilling.
