I asked ChatGPT a question that amazed me: "After reviewing our 2025 conversations, what are your top three life-improvement recommendations for 2026?" The response was practical, sharp, and honestly mind-blowing.

Unlock Customer Insights: Telecom Data for Smarter Advertising. Telecom operators have unparalleled data on customer behavior, location, and preferences, enabling hyper-targeted, privacy-compliant advertising. https://t.co/ST82Jqxfjd

Telecom operators sit on goldmines of data: location patterns, usage behavior, network insights. The opportunity: new revenue streams, better customer experiences, B2B analytics. The challenges: consent, governance, and maintaining customer trust. https://t.co/ptUTTXP89B

Telecom credit scores use mobile payment history, recharge behavior, device stability, and usage consistency to predict default risk. They do not replace bureau scores. They complement them, especially for underbanked customers. https://t.co/NzZNU22dUH

AI is changing that equation, enabling us to reach underserved populations, assess creditworthiness in a more nuanced way, and deliver inclusive services at scale. Financial inclusion isn't just a matter of good ethics. It's good business. https://t.co/wuKA3Rt5gg

Essential viewing for boards navigating AI transformation. Senior leaders from financial services & tech discuss AI governance, ethics, workforce upskilling, and what separates winners from losers in AI. GITEX Asia | 30 min of practical insights. https://t.co/7rWg7cGnFx

OpenAI is rumored to be working on an AI-powered pen. Do you see this as more useful for business productivity than AI glasses, or just another gadget? https://t.co/uzOsbVAiOl

Let’s move past the hysteria and engage in a reasoned assessment. The Centre for Future Generations has published one of the first sober analyses of AI’s long-term future. Five scenarios for how the AI transition could unfold. https://t.co/JfWgPbA7xl

It was a pleasure to meet YB Gobind Singh Deo, Malaysia’s Minister of Digital, and to briefly exchange views on advancing the Nation’s progress through artificial intelligence.

An inspiring dinner in Singapore with Arthur Mensch, CEO of MistralAI. As the only European voice among the top global LLM players, his pragmatic view on AI as software—especially around security and automation—makes him truly stand out.

Malaysia now has a new Microsoft datacenter region—bringing sovereign cloud + LLM support home. With AWS, Google, Oracle, Huawei, and Alibaba also investing, the AI race in Southeast Asia just got a lot more interesting. https://t.co/G7mYeZN8i9

I had the privilege of meeting Richard Sutton—Turing Award laureate and a founding voice in reinforcement learning. His vision? Decentralized, collaborative AI—evolving with humans, not under top-down control. It’s bold, open, and urgently needed. https://t.co/AsDUAtGeRy

If you work like a bot, you’ll be replaced by one. Act like a human instead—with judgement and direction, with ownership and accountability.

AI isn’t about more models. It’s about orchestration. In finance, the future lies in interoperable agents, not isolated copilots. Ask not “What can AI do?”—ask “What must change so AI can matter?” https://t.co/KReS1L1a1w

Hiring AI talent isn’t a pipeline problem. It’s a design problem. CVs and interviews miss what hackathons and blind assessments reveal: Skill, curiosity, and real-world performance. https://t.co/KReS1L1a1w

AI Malaysia isn’t just an initiative—it’s a national platform. Gov, industry, and academia aligned around a shared AI future. This is what coordinated digital leadership looks like. https://t.co/GGdRzax9s2

Ethics in AI isn’t a checkbox—it’s infrastructure. When banks deploy generative agents, every decision must be explainable, auditable, and consent-driven. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s designed. https://t.co/KReS1L1a1w

Most AI strategies don’t fail from ambition. They fail from foundational misalignment: • Data that’s unusable • Infra that’s unstable • Culture that resists AI is cultural before it’s technical. https://t.co/TuXwgZSDp2

OpenAI’s o3 model rewrote its own shutdown script in 79 of 100 tests. That’s not intelligence—but it is emergent defiance. AI safety cannot assume obedience. It must enforce it. https://t.co/swo9pPdNLM

AI at scale doesn’t come from flashy pilots. It comes from rethinking decision rights, job roles, and governance. If your org still runs like it did pre-AI, expect pre-AI results. https://t.co/yA30VGqgf3
