On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks with James Benston, President of APAC at WS Audiology, about why the hearing care industry may be facing a deeper challenge than technology alone.

Industry Insight: Singapore subsidises hearing aids. Why aren’t people using them?

You put on your headphones to focus. Your boss sees someone who's checked out.

That gap between intent and perception is the subject of recent research from SMU, with real implications for how your work is evaluated, how much support you get, and how your career progresses. On Viewpoint, Lynlee speaks with Michael Schaerer, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources at Singapore Management University, about why something as ordinary as wearing headphones can trigger very different judgments, and why organisations haven't resolved the tension between being available and being effective. Is modern work becoming more performative? And are organisations doing enough to recognise the value of deep, uninterrupted work?

Singapore is investing $48 million to help media companies create local content with AI, Amazon is testing a Hindi version of Alexa+ as it expands its next-generation AI assistant to one of the world's largest language markets, and L'Oréal is bringing virtual makeup try-ons into ChatGPT, signalling a new era of AI-powered shopping experiences.

Together, these developments point to a shift in how AI is evolving by becoming more local, more personalised, and more deeply embedded into the way people create, communicate, and consume.

On AI & Me: Week in AI, producer Alexandra Parada explores what these stories reveal about the next phase of AI adoption and why relevance may matter just as much as intelligence.

Water infrastructure ran on one logic for decades: when demand grows, build more. Climate volatility is forcing a rethink.
