Eileen Chong: AI should protect Singaporeans’ time, presence and space, not just productivity

During the Parliament sitting on 24 February 2026, Non-constituency Member of Parliament Eileen Chong spoke on Budget 2026, highlighting that AI adoption should not only boost productivity, but also give Singaporeans their time back. She noted the risk of fatigue and burnout from long working hours and AI-driven task intensification. Chong emphasised the need for presence, calling for policies that help Singaporeans engage with their families and contribute to a “We First” society. She suggested measures like workplace flexibility and caregiving leave to support this. She also spoke about the need for space for youths to grow, explore, and develop themselves, urging education and career frameworks that encourage flexibility, experimentation, and lifelong learning. Chong concluded that securing Singapore’s future requires creating conditions for a good life, with time, presence, and space for all citizens.
