女士们、先生们，尊贵的嘉宾们，早上好。
我想感谢毕马威（KPMG）和国家图书馆管理局邀请我参加「阅读领导：建设人工智能就绪心态」的启动仪式。这是一项及时的举措，因为人工智能正在快速发展，并渗入我们日常生活的更多领域。
今天，几乎每一场对话都关乎人工智能。它能做什么？它将如何快速改进？这对我们的工作、我们的孩子、我们的企业，以及我们了解真相的能力意味着什么？对许多新加坡人来说，这些不再是抽象的问题。当我们使用聊天机器人起草消息、依赖人工智能摘要来理解新闻、想知道一段视频是否真实，或询问我们的工作在未来几年将如何变化时，这些问题就会出现。
这就是为什么更广泛的问题不是人工智能本身。而是我们如何应对技术进步。人工智能已经改变了我们的生活和工作方式——在企业、公共服务和家庭中。一年前，我们中许多人主要将人工智能视为一种工具。今天，我们越来越多地将其体验为一个助手、一个合作者，在某些情况下，还是一个队友。
我们今天在新加坡看到了这一点。企业正在认真思考如何负责任地采用人工智能，同时重新设计工作。工人在询问他们的技能是否仍然相关。父母在询问他们的孩子如何明智地使用技术。公民在询问如何防范网络诈骗、深度伪造和虚假信息。人们对人工智能可能实现的事情充满兴奋。但也存在不安——关于信任、公平性，以及人们是否能跟上步伐。
答案不是减缓进步。而是建立良好使用技术的习惯和能力。我们需要理解人工智能能做什么，也需要了解它的局限性。我们需要提出更好的问题，核实来源，进行判断，并在我们如何决策和相互合作时保持同理心。
然而，这些人类能力也受到了压力。我们快速滚动、浏览和快速反应。我们遇到短格式内容、人工智能生成的摘要、有说服力的推荐和越来越逼真的合成媒体。在这种环境中，更容易不加思考地接受信息。更难停下来、仔细阅读和深入思考。
国家图书馆管理局（NLB）对1150名PMETs的民调给我们提供了一个有用的快照：
只有大约十分之四的PMETs在形成观点前查证统计数据的原始来源——无论该统计数据出现在新闻文章还是人工智能搜索摘要中。
只有大约十分之三的PMETs正确识别了两段书面文章中哪个可信度较低，尽管其中一个包含虚假引用和无根据的论断。
这些发现提醒我们，即使我们知道内容可能是人工智能生成或不完整的，我们仍然可能过于轻易地接受它。这就是为什么辨别力、判断力和仔细阅读很重要。
这就是我今天很高兴启动「阅读领导：建设人工智能就绪心态」的原因。这项由毕马威（KPMG）和国家图书馆管理局（NLB）推行的为期一年的举措在工作场所推动阅读文化。它还加强了PMETs在人工智能、信息素养和数字素养方面的能力。
「阅读领导」使阅读在毕马威（KPMG）内部易于获取和可见，使员工被鼓励建立这一习惯并享受其好处。在许多人感到信息过载的时代，阅读帮助我们放慢脚步。它帮助我们获得知识、拓宽视野、训练我们的思维集中。
该举措从知识周开始，时间为7月14至16日。在这三天内，PMETs和企业可以加强他们的人工智能素养，提高评估信息的能力，并拓展他们超越职业领域的思维。
我们还在亚洲广场（Asia Square）的毕马威（KPMG）展示窗口处为国家图书馆管理局（NLB）的数字馆藏提供了便捷访问。推荐内容涵盖从人工智能和商业到小说和轻阅读——因为建设人工智能就绪心态应该是实用的、可获取的和令人愉快的。
如Sze Yeng也提及的那样，接下来的三天将有免费的公众项目。专家演讲者将讨论阅读如何磨练判断和决策能力、人工智能如何重塑组织和专业风险，以及在人工智能时代领导力和增长意味着什么。
在接下来的一年里，毕马威（KPMG）和国家图书馆管理局（NLB）将继续为专业人士提供资源、工具和专业知识，以建立阅读和辨别能力。在数字时代，我们阅读得多好形塑我们思考得多好。而我们思考得多好正是将我们区分开来的因素。
当各组织努力采用人工智能时，我们不能只关注效率和生产力。许多工人想了解技术如何帮助他们做得更好、更有意义的工作，而不是把他们落在后面。这需要对人类认知、自我管理和适应能力的投资。
因此，看到毕马威（KPMG）以这种方式思考并关注劳动力发展令人欣慰。「阅读领导」传达了一个重要信号：在一个人工智能赋能的工作场所，人仍然是中心。
所以，祝贺毕马威（KPMG）和国家图书馆管理局（NLB）推出这一有意义的举措。我希望它在企业部门引发更广泛的运动——不仅要建立人工智能能力，还要建立帮助新加坡人茁壮成长的人类能力。
谢谢。

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, good morning.
I would like to thank KPMG and the National Library Board for inviting me to the launch of “Read to Lead: Building an AI-Ready Mind”. This is a timely initiative, as AI is advancing faster and entering more parts of our everyday lives.
Today, almost every conversation is about AI. What can it do? How quickly will it improve? What will it mean for our jobs, our children, our businesses, and our ability to know what is true? For many Singaporeans, these are no longer abstract questions. They arise when we use a chatbot to draft a message, rely on an AI summary to understand the news, wonder whether a video is real, or ask how our work will change in the years ahead.
That is why the broader issue is not AI alone. It is how we respond to technological advancement. AI is already changing how we live and work — in businesses, public services, and homes. A year ago, many of us spoke of AI mainly as a tool. Today, we increasingly experience it as an assistant, a collaborator, and in some cases, a team-mate.
We see this in Singapore today. Companies are thinking hard about how to adopt AI responsibly, while redesigning work. Workers are asking whether their skills will remain relevant. Parents are asking how their children can use technology wisely. Citizens are asking how to guard against online scams, deepfakes, and misinformation. There is excitement about what AI can make possible. But there is also unease — about trust, fairness, and whether people can keep up.
The answer is not to slow progress. It is to build the habits and capabilities to use technology well. We need to understand what AI can do and also know its limits. We need to ask better questions, check sources, exercise judgment, and retain empathy in how we decide and work with one another.
Yet these human abilities are also under pressure. We scroll, skim and react quickly. We encounter short-form content, AI-generated summaries, persuasive recommendations, and increasingly realistic synthetic media. In this environment, it becomes easier to accept information at face value. It becomes harder to pause, read carefully, and think deeply.
NLB’s dipstick poll of 1,150 PMETs gives us a useful snapshot:
Only about 4 in 10 PMETs checked the original source of a statistic before forming an opinion — whether the statistic appeared in a news article or an AI search summary.
Only about 3 in 10 correctly identified the less reliable of two written passages, even though one included a fabricated citation and an unsupported claim.
These findings are a reminder that even when we know content may be AI-generated or incomplete, we may still accept it too readily. This is why discernment, judgment, and careful reading matter.
And this is why I am pleased to launch “Read to Lead: Building an AI-Ready Mind” today. This year-long initiative by KPMG and NLB promotes a culture of reading in the workplace. It also strengthens PMET capabilities in AI, information literacy, and digital literacy.
Read to Lead makes reading accessible and visible within KPMG, so staff are encouraged to build the habit and enjoy its benefits. At a time when many of us feel overwhelmed by information, reading helps us slow down. It helps us gain knowledge, widen our perspectives, and train our minds to focus.
The initiative begins with Knowledge Week, from 14 to 16 July. Over these three days, PMETs and businesses can strengthen their AI literacy, sharpen how they evaluate information, and broaden their thinking beyond their professional domains.
We have also brought NLB’s digital collection within easy reach, at KPMG’s display windows here at Asia Square. The recommendations range from AI and business to fiction and light reads — because building an AI-ready mind should be practical, accessible, and enjoyable.
As mentioned also by Sze Yeng, there will also be free public programmes over the next three days. Expert speakers will discuss how reading sharpens judgment and decision-making, how AI is reshaping organisational and professional risks, and what leadership and growth mean in the AI era.
In the year ahead, KPMG and NLB will continue to connect professionals with the resources, tools, and expertise to build reading and discernment capabilities. In the digital age, how well we read shapes how well we think. And how well we think is what will set us apart.
As organisations grapple with AI adoption, we must not focus only on efficiency and productivity. Many workers want to know how technology will help them do better, more meaningful work, and not leave them behind. This requires investment in human cognition, self-management, and adaptability.
It is therefore heartening to see KPMG giving thought and attention to workforce development in this way. Read to Lead sends an important signal: in an AI-enabled workplace, people remain at the centre.
So, congratulations to KPMG and NLB on the launch of this meaningful initiative. I hope it sparks a broader movement across the corporate sector — to build not only AI capability, but also the human capabilities that will help Singaporeans thrive.
Thank you.
