KPMG and NLB launch Read to Lead to build reading as a national workforce capability

KPMG and Singapore's National Library Board (NLB) launched the 'Read to Lead' initiative to promote focused reading among professionals as part of preparing for the AI-driven future. A survey of 1,150 professionals found that only 40% felt confident distinguishing accurate information from AI-generated misinformation, and fewer than half checked original sources before forming opinions. The program aims to enhance critical thinking and discernment by embedding reading as a core professional skill. The initiative was officiated by Singapore's Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, emphasizing collaboration between the private sector and public institutions to build a culture of reading.
