Dell Predicts Enterprises will scale strategic AI implementation in 2025

As per the Dell’s predictions for 2025 and APJ market, AI fluency will become an essential skill, transforming the job market and requiring workforce development.

John Roese, Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer, Dell Technologies:

“APJ is experiencing rapid advancements in AI readiness and deployment, fuelled by substantial investments projected to reach $110 billion by 2028. This growth is evident in the burgeoning AI-ready data center market across the APJ region. In our view, 2025 will be the year when we see enterprise AI truly scale and get into full production.”

Peter Marrs, President, Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China, Dell Technologies:

“Dell Technologies is committed to helping APJ businesses harness the power of AI and drive a future powered by intelligent collaboration. Strong human-to-AI and human-to-human collaboration will be key to driving a shared digital future."

In a virtual media briefing, Dell Technologies shared the Predictions 2025. The insights were shared by John Roese, Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer, and Peter Marrs, President, Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China. They highlighted emerging trends poised to reshape the technology industry in 2025 and beyond.

The discussion, driven by Roese's vision for the future of technology, focused on how Dell Technologies is partnering with customers to navigate these trends and capitalize on the innovation opportunities in the region.

"No matter which technology you explore today, there is a connective tissue into the AI ecosystem," said Roese. "Every technology is now either enabling AI or is enabled by AI. We are evolving from static and reactive AI to a more dynamic, autonomous, interactive and profound set of tools that will allow us to go beyond what we have been able to do so far.”

Peter Marrs noted that AI maturity varies significantly across APJ, with some organizations focused on scaling existing deployments while others are still addressing fundamental infrastructure, talent, and service needs. He pointed to the financial services sector, where organizations are increasingly leveraging AI for fraud detection and deploying digital humans for customer service, as an example of more mature AI adoption. The Dell AI Factory is playing a key role in enabling this transformation.

Successfully scaling AI, as Roese emphasized, requires businesses to prioritize their most impactful processes and build a reusable, scalable AI foundation. validating Roese’s vision for enterprise AI adoption, Marrs said, “Organizations are leveraging AI to enhance cybersecurity, optimize cloud services, personalize learning, and transform film production.”

In APJ, Marrs observed increasing regulatory diversity and privacy concerns are driving enterprises toward privatized and on-premise AI adoption.

Roese's vision for the future of work emphasizes the transformative impact of AI on the job market, requiring organizations to invest in developing their workforce's AI fluency.

Marrs acknowledges that the talent and resource gaps in APJ highlights the urgent need for AI skills development in the region. The future of AI, hinges on collaboration – between humans and AI, and between organizations and their technology partners.
