Customers Will Leverage the Lab for Accelerated AI Adoption
The Lab will help customers operationalize AI through proven infrastructure and cloud-native architectures. Working with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) and Singapore’s top universities and research institutions, customers can cultivate AI talent and build reusable assets and services to help future-proof their workforce and innovation efforts. Additionally, the Lab’s AI experts will help organizations implement robust governance, privacy and security frameworks to address compliance and regulatory mandates, while also creating energy-efficient and cost-effective AI solutions that will reduce carbon footprints and computing costs.
For example, across ASEAN countries:
- In hospitality: Frasers Hospitality worked with Kyndryl to enhance the processes through which operational expertise is documented and streamlined. A solution was jointly built to transform training videos and add interactive multimedia features and multilingual capabilities to scale across its global portfolio.
- In logistics: Kyndryl used AI to help Vietnam SuperPort™ automate x-ray image analysis and validate documents.
- In employment services: Quest is using AI to further personalize the user experience on its gig marketplace, improving the connection between businesses with open positions and skilled local talent, resulting in increased job matching and fulfilment rates.
Kyndryl’s recently launched People Readiness Report 2025 reveals a striking gap between AI investment and workforce preparedness, noting that 95% of businesses have invested in AI, yet 71% of leaders say their workforces are not yet ready to successfully leverage the technology. However, there is a small group (14%) of “Pacesetters” who are seeing the benefits from AI by aligning their workforce, technology and growth goals.
