Beyond AI Strategy: Digital Clones, Quantum Futures, and the Internet of You

The AI revolution has far-reaching implications for how the leaders of large global organizations will communicate with future stakeholders. On the one hand, new technologies will enable executives to reach more audiences—investors, employees, regulators, media—more efficiently than ever and speak to them in their language with a message precisely tailored to their interests and concerns. But those same technologies are fraught with risk of deep-fakes, fraud, and damage to trust. Similarly, the rapidly advancing capacity businesses, both large and small, to collect, analyze and act on data on the movements of customers and employees is creating huge new opportunities—and ethical hazards. Ambient AI, biometrics and "always‑on" sensing will transform cybersecurity and employee privacy. Lurking further over the horizon: AQ (the fusion of AI and quantum computing), fusion‑powered energy and off‑planet data centers. What do these shifts mean for ASEAN’s infrastructure ambitions and for leaders trying to build capability, not just cut costs?
