Disruption Incoming: 4 AI Trends Set to Shape Business

As AI becomes more widespread, its potential benefits and risks for businesses become clearer. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we unpack four emerging AI trends that are set to reshape business with Azwan Baharuddin, Malaysia Country Managing Director of Accenture.

Drawing on insights from their 2025 Tech Vision report, Azwan explains how exponential AI growth—termed the "Binary Big Bang"—is poised to upend traditional systems, while AI agents promise to personalise customer interactions if brands can safeguard their unique voices. He also discusses how robots integrated with large language models (LLMs) are beginning to perform complex tasks in human environments, and how generative AI adoption is creating a continuous learning loop that expands both human and machine autonomy.

The conversation delves into key challenges such as ethical usage, data privacy, and the need for robust upskilling programs. Azwan emphasises the importance of focusing investments on reshaping core functions rather than spreading resources too thin. Whether you’re a business leader or tech enthusiast, this discussion offers actionable insights on harnessing AI’s potential.
