THE global epicentre of artificial intelligence (AI) development is progressively shifting from Europe and the United States toward Asia, according to a report released Tuesday by the Boao Forum for Asia.

“Capitalizing on their substantial digital populations, diverse application ecosystems and coherent policy frameworks, Asian economies are rapidly evolving from AI followers into frontrunners,” said the report titled “Asian Economic Outlook and Integration Progress Annual Report 2026”.

Among the leading echelon, it noted, China has achieved full-chain industrial maturity and demonstrated robust capabilities in large-scale deployment, while Japan and the Republic of Korea concentrate their efforts on high-end manufacturing and industrial automation.

Singapore, serving as a model of application-driven advancement, plays a pivotal role in governance innovation and functions as a platform hub.
