From recommendation systems on social media to medical diagnostics, automated logistics and intelligent virtual assistants, AI is now embedded in the global digital infrastructure. While early AI development was dominated by the United States and Europe, Asia has rapidly emerged as a central force in shaping the next phase of AI innovation. Asia’s rise in AI is not limited to adoption. It increasingly involves the creation of frontier models, large-scale industrial deployment and the formation of new digital markets. Countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and emerging Southeast Asian economies are investing in AI research, infrastructure and talent development. These efforts are supported by vast digital populations, strong manufacturing bases and proactive government strategies. ...
