Hello and welcome to Eye on AI.
Last week, I was in Singapore at the first Fortune Brainstorm AI conference we’ve held in Asia. The conference attracted top regional executives from some of the largest tech companies and biggest names in AI—Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google—as well as IBM and hardware companies like Qualcomm and HP. There were also leaders from some of Asia’s most successful tech companies, including super-app Grab, Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten, Singapore’s DBS Bank, as well as some of the region’s largest insurance firms, most prominent venture capital investment houses, and founders of some of the regions hottest AI startups, not to mention key officials from Singapore’s tech-savvy government.
