Aitsanart Wuthithanakul, Director of Data Analytics & Engineering at Lotus's, shared three failure patterns he keeps seeing in his work, mainly in Thailand:
• Data confusion: having a lot of data isn't the same as having reliable data.
• Tech-first thinking: buying tools before defining the problem.
• No organisational change: treating AI as a side project on top of full workloads.

For Goh Ser Yoong, CISO of Ryt Bank, AI needs first-principles thinking, not just faster adoption. Before deploying an AI use case, ask: what's the worst-case scenario, how reversible is the decision, and what's the potential impact?

Successful organisations don't just adopt AI. They build the conditions to make it work: trusted data, clear problems and redesigned workflows.

The conversation continues at AIBP Executive Briefings: Accountability Under Scrutiny, covering data governance, incident response and RMiT readiness.

𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝘅 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗘𝗔

This morning in Singapore, AIBP and the Victoria State Government (Victorian Government) hosted a private breakfast session, bringing Singaporean industry leaders together with ten Victorian technology companies to find where real operational needs meet pilot and partnership opportunities.

Naïla Mazzucco (Victorian Government) opened with a focus on operational problems and pilots rather than procurement, followed by Chung Heng Han (Singapore Computer Society) on how Singapore's AI policy supports industry.

Our panel with Kerem Abuc (Standard Chartered), Stanley Aw (ComfortDelGro) and Willis Lim (CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre), moderated by Sue Yuin Ho, then set out the innovation priorities they see across banking, transport and cybersecurity.

A few takeaways from the room:

* 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿. Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0, the Enterprise Compute Initiative, the Agentic AI Governance Framework and AI Verify put data and model inventories, evaluation, evidence and incident management at the centre of adoption.

* 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Customer experience, workforce productivity, operational monitoring and analytics lead the list, alongside a clear need to secure AI deployments and keep them well bounded.

* 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳. Clear business cases, measurable ROI, and standardised solutions that scale across markets over isolated custom builds. Singapore procurement cycles can be lengthy, but a local reference customer opens the region.

* 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀. From a compliance deployment cutting manual work by 90% (DHI AI | Decision through Holistic Intelligence), to identity and directory services trusted by the Australian Department of Defence for 20 years (ViewDS Identity Solutions), to data mediation for redaction and model routing (TomorrowX), to supply chain and decision layers delivering measurable time and cost savings (MENTANA, AIBUILD) — alongside Audacix (Makers of Cyber Chief & Qsome), SyncEzy, Yarris Technologies, XENON Systems and IDmeta Group.

The morning closed with networking sessions, because the useful conversation is rarely the one on stage.

Thank you to our speakers and panellists, the Victorian Government, and every delegate (for showing up as early as 7:30am!) We look forward to the partnerships that start from here.

As AI agents move from answering questions to taking action, who is responsible when they act? Session 6, the closing session of Conference & Exhibition Philippines, looked at how enterprises can scale agentic AI safely.

In "Building Your First Harness," Ned Shawa (Kong) used scuba diving's circles of awareness to explain agent safety. He described AI agents as non-human identities that need authentication, access controls and a full record of their activity.

In the fireside chat "Designing the Trust Architecture: Human Oversight, Guardrails, and Accountability when AI Takes Action," Yue Yeng Fong (AIBP) spoke with Anton Reynaldo Bonifacio (Globe Telecom) about making the organisation "safe to innovate." Strong security and data foundations make it possible to give employees broad access to AI.

Sunish Sadasivan (Filinvest Hospitality) and Rocky Bacani (MERALCO) joined Yue Yeng Fong (AIBP) for the panel "Innovating Within the Guardrails: Meeting Regulatory Expectations for AI." The discussion made clear that accountability cannot be handed to an AI agent. Guardrails should work like bridges rather than walls, with human oversight matched to the level of risk. Panelists also stressed that good governance enables safe innovation rather than pushing people towards shadow AI.

High-profile incidents have shifted the cybersecurity conversation in healthcare from preventing every failure to recovering quickly and keeping patient care running. Session 5 at hashtag Conference & Exhibition Philippines looked at what resilience means when lives are on the line.

In "How Agentic AI Security is Changing Healthcare Resiliency," Jamie Francis Dy (Healthcare Cybersecurity Technology Alliance) noted that a typical hospital bed can have about 20 connected devices, so a 300-bed provider may be managing 5,000 to 6,000 of them. With alert volumes and AI-assisted attacks rising, agentic AI can help security teams triage alerts and automate containment. It needs clear limits, though: strict permissions, human approval for high-stakes actions, kill switches and a fallback to rule-based clinical pathways.

Charles Alexis S.D. Aquino (Medi Linx Laboratory), Randy Sac (Mount Grace Hospitals, Inc.), and Dr. Mike Muin (MedProjects) joined moderator Arnel Distor (Philippine General Hospital) for the panel "Innovating Within the Guardrails: Meeting Regulatory Expectations for IT & OT Convergence in Healthcare." The discussion made clear that tolerable downtime depends on clinical impact, and that outages should be measured by patient outcomes rather than system uptime alone. Panelists stressed that disaster recovery is not the same as business continuity. Hospitals need documented manual and offline procedures for when systems fail, along with segmented IT and OT networks and regular recovery testing. Technology alone can't guarantee 100% security, so IT, biomedical engineering, clinical teams and management must share accountability for patient outcomes.

AI is speeding up both attack and defence, from AI-driven phishing to deepfake-enabled fraud. Day 2 of Conference & Exhibition Philippines began with Session 4, which looked at how Filipino enterprises can stay resilient against threats that move faster than ever.

In "Post-Quantum Readiness in Healthcare," Irene Camacho (Healthway Philippines) warned that "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks already put long-lived sensitive data at risk. Healthcare is especially exposed, since patient records need lifetime confidentiality. Her first steps: build a cryptographic inventory, design for crypto-agility and assign a single accountable owner.

In "From Complexity to Resilience: Securing the AI-Driven Enterprise," Nap Castillo (Fortinet) described how fragmented tools, alert fatigue, regulatory pressure and skills shortages are making cybersecurity more complex. He also flagged shadow AI as a growing breach risk, with 43% of reported incidents linked to it.

Garrett Silao (Globe Telecom) and Nayer Lagmay (Kubota Philippines, Inc.) joined Sue Yuin Ho (AIBP) for the panel "Defending at Machine Speed: Securing Identity in the Age of AI Threats." The discussion covered using AI for threat triage and hunting while keeping humans in the loop, and using behavioural playbooks to flag unusual activity, such as a valid identity suddenly making a large number of API calls. The panel also stressed getting the basics right before investing in more technology: MFA, pe*******on testing, employee awareness and compliance with the Data Privacy Act. Security controls should reduce friction rather than push users to work around them. Panelists named complacency as a key risk and called for Philippine-wide threat intelligence sharing that combines global feeds with local experience.

AI can make organisations far more efficient, but only with strong governance, clear accountability and control over costs. Session 3 at hashtag Conference & Exhibition Philippines looked at how enterprises can move quickly with AI while keeping it safe, compliant and trusted.

In "Aligning Strategy with Ex*****on: Bridging the AI Value Gap," Annie McNamara and Fielny Phionesgo (monday.com) highlighted that 60% of Filipino workers spend time on low-value work, and one in two Filipino knowledge workers experience daily stress. They explored how AI is shifting from helping people manage work to helping them do it.

The session continued with our panel on "Innovating Within the Guardrails: Meeting Regulatory Expectations for AI," moderated by Sue Yuin Ho (AIBP) which brought together Frank Vibar (Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Leah Camilla R. Besa-Jimenez (PLDT), Josemaria Likha Umali (First Gen Corporation) and Elbert Guintivano (Tricentis).

The discussion made clear that accountability sits with the people who approve AI deployments, not with the AI system. Panelists stressed starting every AI initiative with a clear business need and building in privacy and security by design. They also emphasised continuous testing and monitoring, and the principle that organisations cannot govern what they cannot see or trace.

Ending the session we hosted a fireside chat "Governing Beyond the Hype: Building AI Confidence Through Data Integrity," where Tina Alvarez (JG Summit Holdings Inc.) spoke with Yue Yeng Fong (AIBP) about scaling AI through a federated model. Business units choose their own use cases, while the centre provides minimum viable policies and shared cybersecurity guardrails. Tina also shared why AI value should be measured against clear business outcomes, and why tracking costs per prompt or transaction matters as usage grows.

As more business units rely on shared data to drive AI decisions, Philippine enterprises are rethinking who owns that data, who can access it and who is accountable for it. Session 2 at hashtag Conference & Exhibition Philippines explored what it takes to build a data foundation the whole organisation can trust.

In the fireside chat "Why Empathy Is the Real Superpower in an AI World," Vincent Delgado (Kong) spoke with Patrick M. (Security Bank Corporation) about why empathy matters more as financial services become commoditised. Patrick shared how organisations can start with customers' emotional experiences and design automation around them, from supporting bereaved families through account and estate processes to simplifying recurring payments with APIs and agents. He also encouraged Filipino technologists to build locally relevant AI solutions, starting with a clear definition of the problem rather than its visible symptoms.

The panel "Data Ownership and Governance for AI at Scale," moderated by Yue Yeng Fong (AIBP), brought together Bernadette Salinas (SM Retail), Gem Francesca F. (San Miguel Corporation) and Jose Carlo Eufemio (RCBC). The discussion framed data ownership as a business accountability rather than an IT function. Panelists covered bringing compliance, risk and legal teams in from the start of AI projects, standardising data definitions and catalogues, and applying risk-based controls so sensitive data is protected without slowing everything down. The open question: how to scale AI governance across business units at different levels of maturity without creating unnecessary friction.

Budgets are tight, and Philippine boards want to see what AI is actually delivering for the business, not just whether the technology works.

At the AIBP Conference & Exhibition Philippines, our Keynote Panel brought together three senior Philippine enterprise leaders to talk about what AI has delivered, where it has fallen short and how they decide what's worth funding. Moderated by Yue Yeng Fong (AIBP), the panel featured Dennis Omila (UnionBank), Karen Salgado (Universal Robina Corporation) and Albert Padin (mWell (Metro Pacific Health Tech)).

Some highlights:
• Some of the best AI wins start quietly. At URC, a discovery agent built on an existing HR platform grew into a tool used for product ideation across the company's Southeast Asian markets.
• A model that works still isn't enough. UnionBank raised credit-card auto-decisioning from about 35% to 88%. It also found that another model created no value because the processes and people around it hadn't changed.
• Saved hours don't show up on the P&L by themselves. The panel agreed that project sponsors need to commit to cutting costs or raising revenue, or the project gets moved down the list.
• In healthcare, efficiency becomes access. mWell's AI clinical notes free up much of the roughly 40% of time doctors spend on paperwork, doubling teleconsult capacity where demand far outstrips supply.
• Foundations come before use cases: master data management, governance committees and training for compliance, risk and audit teams. The panel noted that 70–80% of transformation is people and culture.

Across the panel, one idea kept coming up: AI in the Philippines is moving from proving the technology works to proving it creates value people can measure, without leaving anyone behind.

ASEAN's business leaders are betting on their own region, but every dollar still has to earn its keep.

→ 81% of their planned capital spending over the next three years stays within Asia
→ 87% expect ASEAN's importance to rise by 2028
→ 48% rank automation and AI among their top three investment areas for 2026

That's from the first ASEAN Intelligence survey by The Business Times, one of 's leading business dailies.

Our own 2025/26 ASEAN Innovation Survey of enterprises shows what that looks like on the ground:
→ and machine learning is now the #1 technology enterprises plan to invest in (69%, up from 34% in 2020)
→ Cost optimisation and operational efficiency is the top priority for digital transformation spending (80.2%, up from 70.5% in 2019)
→ infrastructure and systems is the biggest challenge holding them back (41.8%)

Together, the two reports give the reason to look at and the rules for succeeding there. The region is committing to its own growth and moving hard on AI. That spending is judged on efficiency, and ageing systems are what's slowing it down.

For and partners alike, that means leading with measurable results, fitting local context, and staying for the ex*****on, not just the pitch.
