Singapore leads AI adoption in Asia, surpassing the regional average of 42% and the global average of 37%.

Singaporean companies, however, struggle with data accuracy as AI models produce accurate outputs only 32% of the time.

Data availability is a key issue with businesses reporting they can access the required data only 34% of the time.

Only 30% of data is structured, which means most information used for AI is unrefined and messy.

Data storage needs in Asia are projected to increase by 123% over the next two years. This will further complicate AI implementation.

Moreover, 44% of businesses in Asia cite data security as a major concern. This is higher than the global average of 38%.

In Singapore, India, and Indonesia, data security is one of the biggest challenges to AI adoption.
