The Next Big Thing (TNBT) 2024

Emcee Singapore: Charmaine hosted the inaugural TNBT, where the community deep dived into the next big things that will impact our businesses, given GenAI’s rapid growth within the tech sector.

Since its emergence in the mid-2000s, AI has integrated into our daily lives, powering platforms like Facebook, Lazada, Amazon, and TikTok. Speed is critical, evident in ChatGPT’s swift rise since 2023 to GPT-5. By 2026, two-thirds of A2000 businesses will utilize generative AI, boosting decision-making effectiveness by 50%.

Panel discussions centred on AI adoption strategies, challenges, while addressing responsible practices, governance, and security issues. Reskilling remains vital as new systems emerge.

The exhibition showcased solutions offering actionable insights, enabling digital leaders to make data-driven decisions and transform their businesses.

This year, the organizers continued its commitment to return to the community through its support of the Oyster Reef Project, an initiative dedicated to environmental conservation and marine biodiversity.
