Governments won't let go easily – sovereign AI and cultural embedding of models is a likely future.
Cultural adoption trumps tech strategy – demographics and education are crucial to shaping responsible AI use.
From Wyndo:
AI should co-think, not replace – warns against outsourcing judgment, especially for younger users.
SaaS needs better AI-native UX – many integrations feel bolted-on, not seamless.
Emerging markets like Indonesia can leapfrog with crypto + AI – WhatsApp + stablecoin combo could be transformative.
