Concurrently, AI adoption across Asia Pacific remains uneven and fragmented, with operators at varying stages of digital maturity. Persistent challenges around data quality, integration, governance, talent readiness, and regulatory alignment continue to constrain broader deployment. To unlock AI’s full potential, the industry requires a more structured and collaborative approach that unites operators, service providers, and technology partners in building robust and trusted ecosystem capable of scaling AI solutions across the region.
The SPE Summit: AI – The Next Evolution of DDAA will chart the progression of DDAA into AI, using Malaysia’s current AI landscape as a reference point while drawing from lessons and novel AI Applications across the wider Asia Pacific region. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how operators are adopting AI, sharing bold experiences from early implementation, aligning strategies across assets and organisations, and advancing from initial adoption toward scalable, value‑driven deployment.
A central focus of the summit is building a robust AI ecosystem that unites regulators, operators, service providers and technology vendors. Emphasis will be placed on data as the cornerstone of successful AI implementation, covering readiness, governance, and integration across surface and subsurface, alongside the importance of domains understanding coupled with the advance digital features to ensure algorithms deliver accurate and reliable results. The sessions will further examine how AI is supplementing robotics, challenges of AI implementation, organisational preparedness, workforce upskilling, collaboration models, cybersecurity, and regulatory frameworks that shape AI adoption in upstream operations, ensuring solutions are compliant, trusted and scalable.
