About this publication

The AI CEO Brief was started in early 2026 to do one thing: cut the AI noise for APAC CEOs. Most AI commentary is written for engineers, in American context, with little practical use for business leaders operating in this region.

We publish a different kind of analysis. Country-specific. Source-checked. Written for people who run companies, sit on boards, or make capital allocation decisions about AI.

We launch with Singapore. Other countries follow as the analysis deserves the depth.

Read every Sunday by 1,000+ CEOs and senior leaders across Asia Pacific.
