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%).
