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%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
