Below AI Literacy

Public evidence — the organisation's published material, summarised

Outgoing CEO Piyush Gupta (Feb 2025): DBS expects AI to reduce the need to renew ~4,000 temp/contract roles over three years. A workforce category, not a proficiency level.

CFTE interpretation — expert reading, not the organisation's standard

Leadership signals that AI will absorb transactional work, reducing roughly 4,000 temporary and contract roles through attrition, marking work below the AI Literacy bar. Direction of intent rather than a capability requirement; the level shown is CFTE's reading.
