A Grab survey of its Singapore driver‑delivery partners showed that half already use AI tools, while 87% of those who do not are open to trying them; ChatGPT was the most recognised tool. The programme builds on the Driver AI Assistant, powered by OpenAI models, which has reached close to 500,000 drivers, and adds hands‑on workshops where participants use ChatGPT to analyse sales data, design simple websites, or plan business expansions.
