Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans.

It is becoming a key driving force for next generation innovation, and developers in Southeast Asia are increasingly competing to uncover new approaches and broaden its reach.

Southeast Asia is one region that has invested heavily in AI and as a result boasts huge growth in its AI capabilities and understanding.

By recognizing AI’s capacity to influence both business and social settings, the region has published a diverse range of AI-related research papers and patents in recent years.

Subject matters include not just computer algorithms, but also semiconductors, robotics, medicine, and biochemistry, thus highlighting the versatility of AI and its potential applications to impact everyday lives.

According to Clarivate Analytics and InCites Benchmarking, findings indicate an overall increase in the number of AI specific patents published in Southeast Asia during the past 20 years, with consistent growth since 2013.

Below are numbers of AI-related research papers published by TOP 10 Southeast Asian Universities:

Southeast Asian Universities Country Numbers of AI-Related Research Papers
Nanyang Technological University Singapore 2,827
National University of Singapore Singapore 2,383
University Malaya Malaysia 1,103
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Malaysia 1,150
Universiti Putra Malaysia Malaysia 626
Agency for Science Technology & Research (A*STAR) Singapore 539
