State Street Investment Management's head of APAC strategy argues that Asian markets may emerge as the primary beneficiaries of the global artificial intelligence expansion.

Ninghui Liu, Head of APAC Investment Strategy and Research at State Street Investment Management, outlined why Asia could capture disproportionate gains from the AI boom during a Bloomberg Tech: Asia interview. The region's positioning reflects several structural advantages in the AI landscape. Asia's dominance in semiconductor manufacturing, large technology talent pools, and substantial capital deployment capabilities position the region competitively. Key markets including China, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia are investing heavily in AI infrastructure and development. The region's existing strength in electronics and software development creates natural leverage for AI advancement. Liu's assessment aligns with broader market observations that Asia's tech ecosystem is increasingly central to global AI competition. State Street's investment strategy reflects confidence in APAC's ability to capitalize on AI-driven growth opportunities across multiple sectors and geographies.
