High AI adoption, but limited readiness across Asia
  • Posted on 25th June 2026 in by Phil Alsop

Chris Street, Group Chief Revenue Officer of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, discusses the findings of a new regional research study, Mind the Gap: Bridging the AI Infrastructure Readiness Divide, examining how organisations across Asia are progressing from AI ambition to execution. Commissioned by STT GDC with research partner Ecosystm, the study reveals that AI ambition across Asia is high, with nearly 90% of organisations having embarked on their AI journeys. However, a significant 71% remain in the "Builder" stage of maturity, where initial AI pilots struggle to scale into production environments capable of delivering consistent and measurable return on investment (ROI).

Oliver Simonnet, Lead Cybersecurity Researcher at CultureAI, discusses the findings of the company’s The State of Enterprise AI Usage: The Illusion of Control report, which reveals a growing gap between how AI is used in practice and how organisations believe it’s being controlled.

Oliver goes on to explain how, in order to adopt AI at scale responsibly, businesses must move beyond policy and implement real-time, enforceable controls where risk is actually created.
