Translate AI experimentation into enterprise wide adoption.
Who say:-
AI data centre replacing jobs?
@Babe:AI data centre don't host business apps? business clouds, business Agentic apps?
1. bank apps?
2. govt apps?
3. f&b apps?
4. manufacturing apps?
5. finance apps?
6. insurance apps?
etc etc....
aren't these creating jobs for every industry sectors?
who say only those that manage the AI data centres only?
@Babe:1. who maintain bank apps, bank agentic AI? - bank staff.
2. who maintain gov apps, gov agentic AI? - gov staff.
3. who maintain manufacturing apps, manufacturing agentic AI? - manufacturing staff.
4. who maintain f&b apps, f&b agentic AI? - f&b staff.
5. who maintain insurance apps, insurance agentic AI? - insurance staff.
etc etc
All these all high income jobs.
Who say only a few DC staff maintain AI DC only?
@Babe:Besides, each Data Centre will employ specialists and professionals to run - that are high income jobs:-
1. DC Managed Service team
2. DC facilities management team - electrical, HVAC aircon, etc.
3. System engineers.
4. Network engineers.
5. Database professionals.
6. Cloud engineers.
7. AI professionals.
8. Cybersecurity engineers.
9. Telecommunications engineers.
Who say DC produce very little jobs?
Many high income jobs are created.
@Babe:DC also created jobs in many IT support industries eg.
1. DC need to buy servers, GPU etc.
2. Storage, SAN switches.
3. Routers, LAN switches.
4. Cybersecurity devices eg. Firewall, IPS, proxy, VPN, etc.
5. Server virtualisation, cloud.
6. Middleware, apps platform.
7. Telecommunications devices, remote access etc.
8. Database, DBMS etc.
9. AI tools such as LLM, Agentic AI, NLP, python, machine language, frontier AI etc.
Many jobs are created in IT support industries.
Who say AI DC not creating jobs?
They created high value, high income jobs.
@Babe:One DC can create hundreds of high income jobs after construction.
Certainly not the numbers of McDonald staff.

@Babe:These roles are highly productive and lucrative:
Above-Average Pay: Employees working in data centres earn wages that are approximately 35% higher than the national average.
Strong Projections: The sector is expected to drive a near threefold jump in jobs by 2030, in tandem with rising AI infrastructure demands and digital economy growth. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Recent Hiring Initiatives & Actionable Steps:
If you are looking for roles in this sector, major firms are actively expanding their local workforces. For instance: [1, 2, 3]
Singtel/Nxera: Singtel's regional data centre arm and its partners are training and hiring over 500 people for data centre and digital roles. [1]
Bridge Data Centres: Partnering with local institutions (like ITE) to create roles and training opportunities for students and professionals in engineering and energy systems.

@Babe:1. The published number of DC are public DC built to host public cloud and AI.
2. There are many private DC build by individual big enterprises to support their digitisation which are not published.
3. In total, Singapore’s digital economy supports approximately 214,000 tech jobs across the nation.
====
@Babe:Singapore's digital economy generated S$128.1 billion in 2026.
@Babe:Singapore’s digital economy contributes 18.6% to the nation's GDP. Valued at S$128.1 billion, it means more than S$1 out of every S$6 generated in the economy stems from digital-related activities.
@Babe:Tech and digital economy professions in Singapore consistently rank 1st or 2nd in salary, with resident tech workers earning a median monthly wage of S$7,950.
This is roughly 1.6 times the national median monthly salary of S$4,860 for all other resident occupations.
====
@Babe:1. AI replacement of jobs is also not accurate in the context of Singapore.
2. Previously, when computerisation and digitalisation is invented, it displace the jobs in which workers still stick to pen and paper, typewriters.
But it created many IT jobs, industry users that uses computers, eCommerce, eTransaction, Internet.
3. Similarly, AI will displace jobs in which workers refuse to train in AI and use AI.
Conversely, AI created jobs for workers that use AI, basically:-
- AI users (in Generative AI, Agentic AI, AGI),
- AI developers of Agentic AI, AI Apps
- AI R&D developers or creators of LLM, Frontier AI etc.
@huat888:Lol. Can use AI to generate so much slop but got zero EQ to understand that nobody reads your paragraphs 😂
@Babe:1. You very ignorance.
You cannot even differentiate which one is written by a human versus one written by AI.
2. If you are not reading, it is baffling why are you responding?
@huat888: (deleted his comments)
====
@Babe:Currently, Singapore is experiencing full employment.
No sign of mass displacement of jobs by AI in the context of Singapore.
====
@Babe:1. Currently there are 6,000 AI professionals - and target to increase to 15,000.
2. Target to train students and workforce 100,000 to be AI savvy by 2029.
====
@Babe:1. AI is in the same situation when computer spreadsheet, words, internet, mobile apps, web transactions are created.
If you don't learn how to use it, but still rely on calculator, typewriter, pen and pencil, queue up in banks to deposit and withdrawal - you will be out of the workforce.
2. There are so many types of Generative AI - ChatGpt, Google Gemini AI, Meta Llama, DeepSeek, Anthropic Claude Mythos Frontier AI, etc - all have free versions though there are business premium version - and no AI business will shut their free versions - because they will lose users.
3. Many students and workers are using Generative AI to generate software codes, do scheduling, generate reports, generate design options etc. that increase workers productivity phenomenally.
4. AI developers are developing Agentic AI apps to improve business processes and harness productivity.
Workers are expected to learn how to use these Agentic AI apps for their work (just like what workers need to use business apps and software through their computers and smartphones to complete their work).
5. It is not a threat, but a genuine needs for workers and students to be AI savvy.
Else workers will be render redundant if more business adopt AI in their business processes.
@Babe:The moment of truth will come - when business only hire AI savvy graduates and will only keep workers trained in AI.
Those not willing to learn AI will be let go.
Your boss make the axe not Government.

@Babe:1. If one of my software engineer can produce 10 bug-free software codes in one day with the help of AI.
2. While another software engineer can only produce 1 bug-free software code in one day without using AI (or don't know how to use AI).
3. I will let go of the 2nd software engineer that can produce only 1 software code per day.
4. I will keep that software engineer whose productivity is 10 times higher who are competent in using AI tools.
@Babe:1. This includes:-
a. Line by line checking of AI produced software codes.
b. Generation of test cases.
c. System integration of all AI produce software codes for modular testing.
d. Proof-of-Concept Testing.
e. System integration into live production.
d. QC of every phases.

Would you like me to also suggest a melody structure (chord progression) or a pronunciation guide for the lyrics?
@Babe:AI generated song.

@Babe:The artificial intelligence boom directly drives approximately 18.6% of Singapore’s overall economy, contributing $128.1 billion (SGD) to the national GDP. Driven by surging global demand for AI-related electronics, semiconductors, and tech services, the AI sector continues to be a major catalyst for the country's economic resilience. [1, 2, 3]
Breakdown of AI's Economic Impact:
Digital Economy Share: The digital economy represents $128.1 billion (SGD), accounting for 18.6% of Singapore's total GDP. [1]
Manufacturing Surge: Semiconductor and electronics output surged by as much as 44% to directly capitalize on global AI-related demands. [1, 2]
National Economic Forecast: Boosted by AI tailwinds, the Ministry of Trade and Industry expects Singapore’s annual GDP growth to hold steady between 2% and 4%. [1, 2]
Broad Industry Adoption: While the tech sector benefits, over two-thirds of this digital GDP is generated by non-tech industries (such as Finance, Wholesale Trade, and Manufacturing). [1]
@Babe:AI contributed 18.6%, $128.1 billions to Singapore economy.
Cost sunk into AI are investment, not cost.

@Babe:Eg. StanChart do the axe on backend office that don't use AI.
DBS do the axe on part time back end office that don't use AI while keeping all the full time staff that uses AI.
The companies and your boss do the axe not the Government.
The Government will only encourage you to learn and train in AI.
If you refused, it is up to you.
Whether business employ you or not - is your moment of truth.
The Government cannot push your head to drink the milk if you refused.
@Babe:In your previous podcast, you ask what is the government doing when StanChart axe non AI workers.
Now in this podcast, you cast aspersions why Government encourage you to learn, train and use AI.
You sounds very contradictory.

@A:Doesn’t this seem counterintuitive? People like Elon Musk are already exploring ideas like placing data infrastructure in orbit, where solar energy is abundant and cooling is far more efficient. There are even discussions about future possibilities such as lunar-based systems.
The broader point is that large-scale data centres consume massive amounts of electricity and generate significant heat. Logically, they are better suited for locations with natural cooling and access to cleaner, more abundant energy. Only mediocre minister will created more problems will nuclear to “solves” the problem that shouldn’t involve in the first place.
@Babe:1. Let us analyse putting DC into orbit space or even lunar-based systems as per Elon Musk idea - using solar energy to power the DC - does it make sense?
2. Let us 1st deal with DC in orbit space :-
a. Putting DC in orbit space and rely on solar energy to power the DC - is subjecting the DC to solar flare (as atmospheric protection is no longer there)
Solar flare, space weather have been causing significant satellite malfunctions and permanent damage in orbit.
Solar flare emit intense burst of electromagnetic radiation rendering active system component to malfunction.
Imagine putting Data Centre into orbit - with very environmental sensitive equipment such as servers, routers, LAN switch, cybersecurity devices, storage, softwares, apps, backup devices in orbit?
All these sensitive devices that require a very stable environment to work well - will face intermittent problems and will fail easily.
Those companies that launch satellites and maintain satellites understand such risks - and only radiation-hardened components and shielded electronics for satellite that can withstand high doses fo radiation can be launched. Backup satellites need to be in place as failure rate is relatively high.
Imagine DC with those delicate IT devices in orbit? Must be out of the mind!
b. Imagine putting your sensitive data - bank data, government data, business transaction in the orbit DC - what happen the IT devices crash and cannot be recovered - as solar flares electromagnetic radiation - will erase all the data from the servers and storages.
If don't believe, try running a strong magnet on your harddisk, USB, portable harddisk, backup devices - and see what happen to all your data and software?
c. DC in the orbit - means RF in the air.
What is the implication of this?
Only fibre and physical cable can deliver high volume of data from the cloud, run intensive data training for AI via GPU.
DC in the orbit without fibre, submarine cables or physical cable - can transmit such high volume of data via satellite signals, 5G/4G?
Obviously these people has limited knowledge in IT technology.
@Babe:It will slow to a crawl and will data transmission could even stop - due to data congestion via RF (Radio Frequency).
Moreover RF in the air - means cyber hacker can hack anywhere on Earth - and there is no way for DC operators on Earth to cut off transmission by removing the physical cable - as RF is in the air.
d. What happens if any of the IT devices on the orbit fail? Send astronauts or IT maintenance team to recover, restore or rectify the IT devices in orbit?
I think common sense will tell people - DC in orbit is just a gimmick - and people with some common sense will know it is a fallacy.
Yet some people can still be fool by it - and champion it as something fantastic.
Common Sense?
@Babe:Another thing, no DC in the world are solely powered by solar energy because it is intermittent and unreliable.
It must be supported by more reliable and continuous supply of electricity.
Else a DC can shutdown due to power failure.
