Southeast Asia’s digital transformation is accelerating at unprecedented speed. Governments and businesses are embracing artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and digital inclusion to boost competitiveness and create opportunities across the region. AI alone could contribute between 10% and 18% of Asean’s GDP by 2030, a sign that digitalisation has become a collective regional priority.
As leaders gathered in Malaysia for the recent ASEAN Summit in October, the question was not only how to scale AI, but whether the region has the resilient, reliable and sustainable power infrastructure needed to support it.
