National governments | AI policymakers | Enterprise IT leaders
Chinese regulatory actions will likely influence AI development roadmaps across the region.
India has confirmed further investment into nationally controlled AI compute and model infrastructure, treating AI as strategic national infrastructure. The focus is on public sector deployment, local language models, and domestic capacity rather than reliance on foreign hyperscalers.
Singapore-based enterprises are increasingly embedding AI into compliance, reporting, and operational decision-making rather than running isolated pilots. The emphasis has shifted to governance, auditability, and reliability over experimentation.
Chinese regulators are signalling closer oversight of material AI model updates, even after initial approvals. Iteration cycles are slowing as updates increasingly require notification or review. ## Bonus signal: Western enterprise AI controls accelerate adoption in Asia Major Western AI platforms are rolling out stronger enterprise controls around permissions, audit, and internal use.
