Asia's Tech Sector Fosters AI Hype, Ignoring Structural Barriers to Adoption

The report references empirical factors such as digital literacy gaps, infrastructure deficits, and regulatory lag, grounding its critique in measurable constraints. It cites industry surveys and policy analyses that substantiate the claim that hype outpaces readiness. Scientific rigor is therefore moderate to strong, though deeper methodological detail is absent.
The AI hype sweeping Asia's tech sector mirrors historic technology bubbles, yet it proceeds without the grounding of Indigenous wisdom, marginalised perspectives, or robust future modelling.
Scientific evidence of digital‑literacy and infrastructure deficits underscores the need for systemic, cross‑cultural solutions that embed ethical, artistic, and spiritual considerations. By deploying co‑designed literacy programs, resilient infrastructure, adaptive regulation, and global knowledge hubs, stakeholders can transform hype into sustainable, inclusive innovation. This integrated approach reveals the trickster paradox: the very confidence that fuels the bubble can be redirected to expose and repair the underlying fragilities.
