Only 4 in 10 Singapore firms see AI as fully transformative

A digital infrastructure is essential to realise AI's full capabilities.

Despite accelerating AI adoption, only four in 10 Singaporean companies view their AI applications as fully transformative, based on a survey by Digital Realty.

In Asia-Pacific, only a quarter of enterprises consider their current AI use to be transformative.

According to Digital Realty, building digital infrastructure is essential to realize AI’s full capabilities, a resource five in 10 (56%) APAC firms lack.

Additionally, existing infrastructures fall short due to limited data storage for large AI datasets (64%), insufficient computational power for processing (55%), and unreliable connectivity to distributed data sources (49%).

Achieve data and AI success also relies on data center providers ability to enable secure data exchange across users, networks, clouds, and IT providers on a unified platform.

Key requirements include infrastructure capable of handling AI's power and energy demands (51%), proximity of high-performing AI workloads to data and users (46%), and compliance with AI and data privacy regulations (45%).

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.
