GLOBE Telecom, Inc. expects wider adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) among Philippine companies, the company’s cloud unit Cascadeo said.
“We foresee generative AI refocusing — but not necessarily replacing — the digital transformation and managed services that power our customers’ success in the cloud,” Jared Reimer, president and chief technology officer at Cascadeo, said in a statement on Monday. “As the use of generative AI increases, businesses must learn to adopt instead of resisting the changes.”
The telecommunication company expects corporations this year to “fully embrace AI across every role and aspect of business” due to the growing interest in the use of AI-enabled applications.
About 80% of enterprises are projected to adopt AI application programming interfaces by 2026, Globe said, citing a Gartner study in October.
“With our industry-leading tech and expertise, Cascadeo is ready to help companies take their first steps into adopting generative AI and guide them through implementation,” Mr. Reimer said. “We will be there to guide them in migrating to a cloud environment that’s scalable and adaptive as AI evolves.”
Meanwhile, Aboitiz Data Innovation Pte. Ltd. (ADI) said cyber-attacks are driving the adoption of AI among enterprises.
“With the increase of digitalization, the increase of technology adoption, we have to unfortunately acknowledge that the bad actors are also going to increase,” David R. Hardoon, chief executive officer of ADI, said in a recent interview. “We should be, and we are effectively using AI to detect any irregularities.”
The company earlier said it seeks to integrate AI across the Aboitiz Group’s units to enhance its operations, specifically in financial services. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
