SINGAPORE: Singapore’s fair employment watchdog has not received any complaint of discrimination against workers by employers who use human resources (HR) tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI), but the government is closely monitoring the trend to ensure that guidelines and regulations remain adequate to protect the workforce.
“If certain AI use results in discriminatory employment practices, workers or job applicants can approach the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) for assistance,” Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said on Wednesday.
