The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), research and commercialization is increasingly broadening to Asia. From Japan to Singapore, AI startup and research clusters are emerging rapidly, a harbinger of the technological leapfrog that is to come. Leading tech companies in Japan and South Korea, for example, have some of the highest number of AI patent filings, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization. These countries are home to major investments from Chinese tech giants, which have opened up AI labs in the region. Many global companies have set up AI research centers in Bengaluru while one multinational AI company has raised more than $325 million to boost enterprise efficiency with AI.
