📌 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.

📌 OpenAI and Walmart are jointly promoting global AI training: expanding OpenAI Academy with free AI certification, targeting 10 million people to be certified by 2030. Walmart is implementing it for millions of employees, preparing the technology-oriented retail industry. This is a strategic step after GPT-5, affirming OpenAI’s vision of empowering the masses with AI, not just the elite. Tổng hợp.

📌 Businesses are falling into the IT “trap” when deploying AI as mere software, completely delegating it to the IT department, leading to a loss of competitive advantage. Choosing only one model like Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT makes organizations dependent and miss out on diverse value. IT needs to support security and deployment, but the CEO and leadership are the ones who must shape the strategy. If they don’t shift from treating AI as a “tool” to an “intellectual partner,” businesses will only achieve a few percentage points of efficiency instead of breaking through many times over. Tổng hợp.

📌 AI is disrupting the foundation of the labor market: Entry-level hiring in the US decreased by 35% since 2023; SignalFire reports a 50% drop for recent graduates. Amodei predicts 50% of entry-level jobs will disappear, while Tegmark warns superintelligence could eliminate 100% of occupations. The traditional career ladder is gradually being replaced by a flatter structure, forcing young people to equip themselves with AI skills to survive in the new environment. Tổng hợp.
