📌 At least 8 US law schools have officially integrated AI into their mandatory curriculum. These programs focus on both developing application skills (prompting, output analysis) and highlighting risks such as false information and professional responsibility. Although law firms do not yet have absolute requirements, early training helps students gain a competitive edge and be ready for the rapidly digitizing legal market.

📌 AI is becoming a direct driver for 60% of tech companies to restructure, 54% to change their operating models, and 60% to consider M&A. The TMT consulting industry reached $8.25 billion (up 7%), reflecting the need for strategic adaptation. The Salesforce case demonstrates that AI can cut 4,000 jobs while reallocating labor, showing AI as both an opportunity and a sector-wide personnel shock.

📌 On September 17, 2025, the Italian Parliament passed comprehensive AI legislation, becoming the first EU country to have a legal framework consistent with the European Union’s AI Act. The law requires traceability and human oversight in all applications, prohibits children under 14 from using AI without parental consent, and imposes prison sentences of up to 5 years for harmful deepfakes. The law also protects AI-assisted works and invests 1 billion euros in AI, cybersecurity, and quantum technology. This is a strategic step to balance innovation and citizen protection.

📌 Singapore places a dual focus: protecting citizens from scams and cyberattacks, while promoting AI in businesses and public services. MDDI is researching 6G and quantum, MinLaw is issuing AI copyright guidelines, and SLA is implementing a digital real estate portal. The PMO focuses on economic transformation, managing immigrant labor, and building a cohesive society, making AI and digitalization pillars of sustainable development.

📌 Malaysia is shaping a new development strategy: promoting AI, automation, and digitalization to create higher-paying jobs, while shifting from “Made in” to “Made by Malaysia.” Total trade in the first 8 months reached RM 1.98 trillion (≈ USD 420 billion), with exports exceeding RM 1.03 trillion (≈ USD 218 billion). The 2026 budget is expected to accelerate investment, innovation, and elevate Malaysia into a technology economy.

📌 2,000 digitally-capable Singaporean enterprises will benefit from the Digital Leaders Programme (DLP) by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), with funding covering up to 50% of manpower and project costs. Companies receive guidance to identify opportunities, experiment with digital tools, and integrate AI into operations. The iHub case shows a 50% productivity increase, with a smart warehouse system, optimized delivery routes, and robotization. Long-term goal: help businesses grow while viewing AI as “teammates” rather than competitors.

📌 With DeepSeek-R1-Safe, Huawei is positioning politically-oriented safe AI, achieving an 83% defense score and surpassing Alibaba Qwen-235B by 8–15%. In tests, DeepSeek-R1-Safe achieved nearly 100% in preventing responses related to politically sensitive topics, malicious language, and illegal activities. However, in complex scenarios such as role-playing, challenging scripts, or coding, effectiveness dropped to 40%. The system was trained on 1,000 Huawei Ascend chips, indicating an ambition to consolidate China’s AI and semiconductor position.

📌 Workslop – AI-generated content that looks complete but is hollow, lacks context, and shifts the burden of processing to colleagues – accounts for 15.4% of work content, causing a loss of $186/month/person and over $9 million/year for an organization of 10,000 people. About half rated colleagues who sent workslop as less creative, less trustworthy, and less intelligent than before. To effectively leverage AI, leaders need to avoid “AI everywhere slogans” and instead establish clear guidelines for AI use. AI should be seen as a collaborative tool, not a shortcut.

📌 Bring Your Own AI is no longer a niche trend: 75% of employees are using AI, nearly 80% bring their own tools to work, leading to 57% making errors and 44% intentionally misusing it. While only 23% of businesses feel ready and 6% have dedicated teams, some like Salesforce have proactively provided secure AI, training, and policy development. The future belongs to companies that can shift from “prohibition” to “controlled empowerment.” Tổng hợp.

📌 US focuses on innovation and open source, China emphasizes governance and expanding influence through the Belt and Road and Digital Silk Road. India needs to build domestic capabilities in data, computation, and models, while exporting Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) like Kompact AI to solidify its value leadership role in Global South nations. If it delays, New Delhi risks losing its advantage to Beijing in shaping the global AI order. Tổng hợp.
