ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) could add US$1 trillion to South-east Asia's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 according to management consulting firm Kearney and Asian-based strategic investor EDBI.
That being said, adoption is still in its nascent stages - about 30 per cent of the respondents surveyed are developing their AI strategies or just starting to invest. About half are at least piloting some initiatives; and only 15 per cent are in advanced stages of AI implementation, typically those in more service-oriented sectors.
