A staggering 61% of generative AI job listings in Singapore require machine learning expertise, while 54% seek proficiency in Python programming. This comes as no surprise, given the versatility of Python in AI and machine learning applications.
Other tools like PyTorch and C++ are also in high demand, featuring in 24% and 23% of job ads, respectively. The popularity of these skills is a testament to Singapore’s rapid adoption of generative AI tools, which has established the country as a global leader in this field.
