Disruptive.Asia
Online/Digital
Disruptive.Asia covers the current state of digital disruption in the Asia-Pacific telecommunications industry – where it’s coming from, what’s driving it, the impact it’s having on the industry, how telecoms players are responding and what’s next.
The acceleration of next-generation telecoms/IT technology is turning traditional business paradigms on their heads. But that’s not a bad thing – digital disruption is creating new opportunities for APAC telecoms players savvy (and brave) enough to embrace it and become part of the disruptive vanguard. Our mission at Disruptive.Asia is to question it, make sense of it, and provide a reality check to the breathless hype driving the race to the 5G Digital Economy of Things (whatever that means).
Disruptive.Asia combines news, opinion and in-depth features to keep you informed and, hopefully, get you involved. You are welcome to subscribe to our daily highlights and weekly digests, comment on anything you read, interact with us on social media and even contribute your own articles and blog posts to add to the discussion.

Digital clones - who owns and uses yours?
Now, we have digital clones to contend with! Generative AI has enabled services that can learn from an individual’s behavior, style and character and start to act like that individual. It means all of us can have a personal or digital clone and personal AI that behaves and even sounds like us. But who owns it? Is it you or a company that enables this? Should you allow access to all your data to somebody who digitally clones you?
The Metaverse is chugging along, but does anyone care?
Twelve months is a long time in the technology sector, and while no one is interested in the Metaverse anymore, the developments and product launches are continuing just as I forecasted in 2022 when The Metaverse was the hottest thing since sliced bread. The mood is so bleak that when the word metaverse is mentioned in conjunction with Apple’s Vision Pro device, the fan base and technology press will claim that it is not a metaverse device but something else.

In recent years, the telco industry has seen growth stagnate as software companies infiltrate their markets and offer more innovative solutions at lower operating costs.

What impact does AI have on jobs, and who controls it?
Does AI make our jobs better or worse? And for whom does AI work? And who really makes the decisions? We’ve all heard that technology is coming to take boring routine work from us, enabling us to perform more meaningful and productive work. This is the story heard in many workplaces when companies increase automation. Quite often, the reality is much more complicated. I remember visiting Nokia’s factory when discussing meaningful work and new processes.
