How organisations should transform their cybersecurity strategy for agentic AI

1 week ago | futureciso.tech | Eileen Yu

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is garnering interest amongst enterprises eager to apply more advanced automation into their workflow, but it also comes with added risks that require a new approach to cybersecurity. Specifically, a zero trust framework will be critical to ensure AI agents are working for -- and not against -- the organisation within which they are deployed.
GitLab: Vibe coding still in early days, but AI will change how companies build and buy software

2 weeks ago | futurecio.tech | Eileen Yu

Organisations may not be ready for a hands-off approach to software development, or “vibe coding”, but some help from AI-powered tools is welcomed and can change the way software is built and bought in the future. Code assists have proven to be one of the most tangible use cases for artificial intelligence (AI), with GenAI (generative AI) further driving this over the last 18 months, said Craig Nielsen, vice president for Asia-Pacific Japan at GitLab.
Toolchains needed to fuel quantum computing development and future adoption

3 weeks ago | futurecio.tech | Eileen Yu

Toolchains can help drive development work in quantum computing and ease future adoption, but quantum computers are unlikely to replace their traditional counterparts as organisations look to operate hybrid environments. Semiconductor players, for one, have seen significant success not only from having good chip design, but also from offering complete toolchains to fuel the development of their products, noted Miles Upton, Asia regional manager at Cambridge Consultants.
Heineken taps GenAI with aim to brew better as it seeks real-time data

1 month ago | futurecio.tech | Eileen Yu

It may not seem like a likely early adopter of emerging technologies, but Heineken hopes its investment in generative AI (GenAI) will yield better brews, even as it works to improve access to quality data. The Dutch beer brewer in March 2025 launched its global GenAI lab in Singapore, in collaboration with local government agency AI Singapore. The facility aims to build GenAI applications that can fuel the company’s growth and productivity, and enhance customer engagement across the globe.
Commentary: Businesses must address AI transparency now even as governments take their time

A while ago, I was asked about my thoughts on music sampling, a practice commonly used in song creation where a part of an existing song is reused, often as a loop, in a new song. We were discussing the merits of sampling and its impact on copyright and rightful ownership, especially since the use of sampling has grown significantly pervasive -- particularly, in hip hop and electronic music.
AIで空き駐車場を収益源に不動産会社が開発した需要予測システムとは：全社利益を15％アップ

CapitaLand Investmentは、定期利用駐車場の利用者数が少ない時間帯に駐車場を一般利用者向けに開放することで、利用者の満足度を高めることを目指していた。駐車場の利用パターンを正確に予測し、効果的な駐車スペースの活用による収益の向上も見据えていた。需要予測システムの開発には、以下の機械学習アルゴリズムやツールを活用している。機械学習アルゴリズムロジスティック回帰ラッソ回帰ランダムフォレスト機械学習フレームワーク検索エンジン運営企業Yandexが提供するオープンソースライブラリ「CatBoost」 Microsoftが提供する機械学習フレームワーク「LightGBM」（Light Gradient Boosting Machine）これらのアルゴリズムやツールは、大規模なデータセットやラベル付きデータを扱う能力を持ち、駐車場の空き状況や利用率といった具体的な予測に適することから、CapitaLand Investmentの機械学習モデルの学習に採用された。最新のデータパターンに基づいて需要予測の精度を高められるように、CapitaLand...
Hitachi Vantara CTO: Simply buying more GPUs won’t guarantee AI success

1 month ago | futurecio.tech | Eileen Yu

Organisations often end up failing to achieve the results they want from artificial intelligence (AI) because they skip important key steps before embarking on their journey. They rush into AI without first having a plan, and a multi-faceted one at that, said Jason Hardy, Hitachi Vantara’s CTO for AI. While IT needs to be responsible for it, AI also must involve multiple teams within the organisation, including legal, human resources, and lines of business, Hardy said.

Turning to automation and artificial intelligence (AI) has helped GXS Bank not only double its productivity, but also improve its ability to identify high-risk transactions, such as money laundering activities. Monitoring transactions is a critical part of the digital bank’s operations to ensure its financial ecosystem is protected against malicious actors, GXS Bank CTO Rajat Malhontra said in an email interview with FutureCIO.
User education key in combating deepfakes as Singapore heads to election polls

2 months ago | futureciso.tech | Eileen Yu

With deepfakes increasingly difficult to identify and regulations still playing catchup, end-users are urged to assume more responsibility in protecting themselves against online scammers. More concerted efforts to fight such cybercrime will be critical as artificial intelligence (AI) generated images and videos, particularly deepfakes, grow in scale and sophistication.
CW Innovation Awards: Finding revenue gains from parked cars

Improving user experience CapitaLand believes this approach will allow the accuracy and efficiency of the system to be continuously improved. The prediction system also incorporates seasonal trends and events-based fluctuations, which enables the release of season parking lots to non-season users to ease demand during peak periods. This capability ensures space utilisation is optimised while user experience is enhanced.
