AI in Sports 🏎️ AI isn’t just transforming businesses — it’s reshaping how we experience sports. At Think Singapore 2025, one of the most engaging sessions explored how AI can be applied to sports — from building AI agents in minutes to enhancing athlete performance, fan engagement, and strategic decision-making. What excites me is the crossover: the same AI frameworks driving innovation in enterprises can also power entirely new possibilities in industries like sports, where precision, speed, and real-time insights matter most. #ThinkSingapore IBM

Yesterday was a very big day for AWS and our customers in APJ as we launched the AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. It is our 12th AWS Region in Asia Pacific and Japan since our first in Singapore back in 2010.   The potential for innovation in NZ is limitless, and we are committed to providing the most comprehensive and secure cloud to help drive local innovation and growth. Kiwi organisations including Datacom, Deloitte, Kiwibank, MATTR, and One NZ have already signed on to leverage the Region, and we’re excited to see the transformation we can drive together.   Amazon is investing NZ$7.5 billion into New Zealand, which will create 1,000 new jobs and contribute an estimated NZ$10.8B to the nation’s GDP over 15 years. This builds on the billions of dollars we've already invested in cloud infrastructure across APJ region, with plans to invest billions more.    To our builders, partners, and the #OneAPJ AWS team, thank you for your dedication to transforming New Zealand's digital future. You are helping unlock access to opportunities that will transform communities and shape the future.   It remains Day 1 in New Zealand, and as always, the best is yet to come!   Learn more about how AWS is shaping the future of New Zealand’s cloud journey:https://lnkd.in/eXCJDd-F

Earlier this month, Vikram and I had the privilege of joining the Singapore Executive Summit hosted by OpenAI What stood out in every discussion: AI has not peaked, not even close. The breakthroughs we see today are just the beginning. In the coming weeks, months, and years, AI will unlock capabilities that will fundamentally re-architect how enterprises operate. A successful enterprise AI charter should be built on 3 core principles: - Don’t wait for certainty. By then, it’s too late. - Hyper-experimentation wins. - If AI doesn’t solve a problem today, it doesn’t mean it won’t tomorrow. It just means you’re early. The question for leaders is no longer if AI will reshape their business, but how fast they can become AI-first. At CARS24 we have chosen to lead.

I am excited about these announcements from Google Cloud last week because they open up a host of new possibilities for our enterprises and public service. On Aug 28, Google Cloud said it would bring its most powerful #Gemini models to Singapore. This means that organisations will no longer have to send data to a large language model based overseas for training or queries. Instead, the model will be built and located here, allowing organisations holding sensitive data such as economic, health and defence records that cannot be exported outside of Singapore, to develop and train AI agents. The announcements include an offering that lets the models reside on-premise. So, organisations could train and use the model with added security and low latency, even when they are not connected to the Internet. The news have focused on the public sector potential but enterprises should also take note. Private hospitals, for example, could do so much more to unlock AI's potential on confidential patient records. McDonalds has signed on to adopt the cloud provider's #edgeAI solutions for its chain of restaurants worldwide. It would be interesting to see if, and how, fast and powerful AI will deliver the fast-food giant a bigger bite of the burger. There were other news in the suite of announcements that should interest businesses, including the addition of eight consultancy partners in the #GoogleCloudTakeoff programme, and the introduction of new capabilities like Vids that will help businesses produce creative content at lower costs and fewer hours. Read the piece on government use at #TheStraitsTimes Thanks to Nicholas T. for all sorts of help.
