AI-related investments in Asia Pacific are projected to outpace overall digital technology spending by 1.7 times, with generative artificial intelligence expected to have an estimated regional economic impact of US$1.6 trillion ($2.1 trillion) by 2027.

However, inconsistent, outdated, and biased data challenge an organisation’s ability to successfully scale generative AI initiatives. According to the study Qlik and Amazon Web Services commissioned to the International Data Corp, 80% of Asia Pacific organisations are rethinking data management as poor data quality, bias, and complex engineering cause one in five AI projects to fail.

To overcome these challenges, more than half (56%) of organisations across Asia Pacific are turning to low-code and no-code AI tools to simplify generative AI implementation.
