Eileen Chong

Singapore Member of Parliament who speaks on labor and technology policy.

Ensuring that no one is left behind involves more than ensuring job-ful growth. It requires a commitment to sharing the rewards of AI-driven productivity. [...] Presently, employers are the default beneficiaries. They benefit from more output from the same headcount, or the same output from a lower headcount. Such productivity gains do not automatically become human gains. Without deliberate policy design, they tend to remain exclusively employer gains.

AI will create a permanent underclass

I share the values outlined in the motion – that growth must be inclusive, that every worker matters, and that no one should be left behind in the AI transition.
