Alongside prominent industry experts and technology leaders, Business Analyst Lim Guang Liang represented the Manpower Research and Statistics Department (MRSD) at Tech Week Singapore 2026. His presentation explored practical examples of how artificial intelligence could be applied across MRSD’s operational functions to support more efficient and effective ways of working.

Beyond improving efficiency, the presentation examined how AI is reshaping tasks, skills and workplace practices. Guang Liang emphasised that adopting AI is not simply about introducing new technology, but also about carefully redesigning how people and technology work together. AI-generated outputs should continue to be reviewed and verified by officers, particularly in the public service, where accuracy, accountability and public trust remain essential. Human expertise continues to play a central role in interpreting information, understanding complex circumstances and making responsible decisions.

As technology and workforce practices continue to evolve, MRSD’s participation at Tech Week Singapore 2026 reflects its commitment to exploring responsible and practical applications of AI. The sharing demonstrated MRSD’s continued efforts to modernise its operations while maintaining appropriate human oversight and accountability. Through this balanced approach, MRSD can harness technology to strengthen operational effectiveness, enhance the way officers work and contribute to better public-service outcomes.
