Asia's Innovation Boom to Fuel AI Growth, Microsoft Reports

 To create a foundation for AI adoption, Asian firms concentrate more on design and technological work. According to a new survey from Microsoft, the president, Rodrigo Kede Lima, stated, “We’ve been through an inflection point where the two decades of 'Made in'—'Made in China’ and ‘Made in Vietnam’— are shifting to the decade of ‘Created in.'”

Lima quoted, “We are consuming more AI than the rest of the world, and the region is ahead on AI.” Lima who took charge in September after leading Microsoft’s enterprise business in America. Previously, he served in Latin America as the company’s president, where he gets prepared for work in a “multi-country, multicultural, multilingual” region.

Microsoft released its annual ‘Work Trend Index’ data on Friday, which includes both survey responses and data collected from its office software products to examine workplace trends and behavior. The data shows over 60 percent of Asia-Pacific region leaders want to increase their productivity, but nearly 85 percent complain that they don’t have any more time or energy to give further mention to both Asia-based business leaders and employees.

Microsoft data brings up a new suggestion to Asia-Pacific leaders to make use of AI to do things that humans can’t do, for instance, available 24/7 or providing services and “unlimited ideas on demand.”

Lima believes that understanding how AI works will be a fortune for the workforce. He considered AI a new math, and it's going to create agents the same way we create a spreadsheet. As this positive side of AI will create new jobs by increasing economic productivity.
