AI PC adoption in most firms surges 12% above regional average

Five in 10 have deployed AI in their personal computers.

More than five in 10 (54%) Singaporean firms have already deployed artificial intelligence personal computers (AI PCs)—12% higher than the regional average, according to a Dell Technologies report.

This, the report notes, has driven Southeast Asia’s AI PC adoption, along with the adoption of new technologies without legacy constraints, favourable market conditions, and government initiatives.

Across the region, 92% reported higher productivity amongst users, whilst 52% expect the share of workstations in their fleet to grow over the next five years.

Organisations in the region also reported workstation use for data preparation (66%), model fine-tuning (62%), and foundational model training (55%).

On a broader perspective, Asia Pacific (APAC) organisations with over 50% AI PCs in their fleet report saving 2.17 hours per employee per day, reflecting a 30% productivity increase

Moreover, four out of five APAC firms expect AI PCs to drive the adoption of agentic AI, agreeing that they enhance control and security for these applications.

Further, 84% of organisations expect AI PCs to increase employee productivity, whilst 78% cite security benefits and 77% highlight cost advantages of running AI locally.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
