Digital China and INSEAD Jointly Release First AI Case
SINGAPORE, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Guo Wei, Chairman of Digital China, shared insights on "Enterprise Management in the AI Era" at the INSEAD 2025 Asia AI Conference and jointly released a case study with INSEAD.
In his speech, Guo Wei pointed out that the interaction of Business Model, Technology Architecture, and Management Approach forms a growth flywheel that drives enterprise evolution—at the core of which lies business processes. Therefore, deeply integrating AI into the reengineering of business processes will be key to the commercialization of AI. To achieve process reengineering and meet the management goals in the AI era—full-scope awareness, rapid decision-making, and continuous iteration—enterprises must first rebuild their infrastructure. This means aligning business processes with a new data cloud integrated architecture, to fully harness the value of data assets.
When discussing AI's impact on organizational transformation, Guo Wei said, "From an enterprise perspective, every wave of technological change brings enormous opportunities, and also significant challenges. The biggest challenge lies in building the right mindset. There's a great deal of enthusiasm for AI in the public discourse, but its actual application in enterprise settings is still at an early stage. This gap often leads to fatigue and anxiety. We firmly believe that AI and digitalization will drive profound changes, but such transformation won't happen overnight—it requires a gradual, step-by-step process."
Now included in the INSEAD Case Library and soon to become part of its MBA curriculum, the case study "Shaping the Future: Digital China's Journey from Digitalization to an AI-Embedded Organization" provides global learners with insights into AI-led transformation and reflects China's growing influence on enterprise AI innovation.
This case study presents Digital China's journey in digital transformation and its latest AI initiatives under the strategic framework of "AI-Powered Data Cloud Integration." Reflecting global digital and AI trends, it offers valuable insights for companies pursuing similar transformations. Following earlier inclusion in the case libraries of London Business School and Harvard Business School in 2024, this latest inclusion by INSEAD further showcases Digital China's leadership and China's growing influence in shaping global AI innovation.
Professor Chen Guoli remarked: "This case firmly validates Digital China's AI transformation methodology and enriches global academic research by contributing to the theoretical framework of digital transformation and AI application—bridging Chinese practice with the global academic community."

AI is upending the job market, even at AI companies
AI's impact is affecting entry-level engineering roles. Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger said the company is focused on hiring more experienced employees instead. Anthropic's CEO, meanwhile, has warned that AI could eliminate 50% of entry-level jobs. Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger, who also cofounded Instagram, says the job market is going to be tough for new grads. Krieger told The New York Times' "Hard Fork" podcast on Friday that Anthropic is focused instead on hiring experienced engineers. He said he still has "some hesitancy" with entry-level workers. To some extent, that's a reflection of Anthropic's internal structure, which doesn't yet support a "really good internship program," Krieger said. Internships have long been the golden ticket to lucrative entry-level tech jobs. But it also shows how AI is upending the labor market, even at AI companies. As AI continues to evolve, Krieger said that the role of entry-level engineers is going to shift. On a recent episode of the 20VC podcast, Krieger said software engineers could see their job evolve in the next three years as coders outsource more of their work to AI. Humans will focus on "coming up with the right ideas, doing the right user interaction design, figuring out how to delegate work correctly, and then figuring out how to review things at scale — and that's probably some combination of maybe a comeback of some static analysis or maybe AI-driven analysis tools of what was actually produced." There is an exception, however. "If somebody was... extremely good at using Claude to do their work and map it out, of course, we would bring them on as well," Steve Mnich, a spokesperson for Anthropic, told Business Insider by email. Claude, Anthropic's flagship chatbot, has become known among users as a coding wizard with a manipulative streak. "So there is, I think, a continued role for people that have embraced these tools to make themselves, in many ways, as productive as a senior engineer." On its careers page, Anthropic is hiring for 200 roles across categories from AI research and engineering to communications and brand to software engineering infrastructure. BI reviewed the job descriptions for each of these roles and found that the majority require five or more years of experience, while a handful of jobs, particularly in sales, require between 1 and 2 years of experience. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has also warned about the threat AI poses to entry-level jobs, both inside and outside the AI industry. In an interview with Axios, Amodei said the technology could wipe out as much as 50% of entry-level jobs. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," he told the outlet. "I don't think this is on people's radar." On Thursday, he told CNN that "AI is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks, and we're going to collectively, as a society, grapple with it." David Hsu, the CEO of Retool, an AI application company with over 10,000 customers, including Boston Consulting Group, AWS, and Databricks, is also warning of changes on the horizon. He told BI that "workers have a lot of leverage over CEOs" in the current labor market. "I think CEOs are kind of tired of that. They're like, 'We need to get to the point where we can go replace labor with AI.'"

These stories could change how you feel about AI
Here's a selection of recent headlines about artificial intelligence, picked more or less at random: For some recent graduates, the AI job apocalypse may already be here Artificial intelligence threatens to raid the water reserves of Europe's driest regions Top AI CEO foresees white-collar bloodbath Okay, not exactly at random — I did look for more doomy-sounding headlines. But they weren't hard to find. That's because numerous studies indicate that negative or fear-framed coverage of AI in mainstream media tends to outnumber positive framings. And to be clear, there are good reasons for that! From disinformation to cyberwarfare to autonomous weapons to massive job loss to the actual, flat-out end of the world (shameless plug of my book here), there are a lot of things that could go very, very wrong with AI. But as in so many other areas, the emphasis on the negative in artificial intelligence risks overshadowing what could go right — both in the future as this technology continues to develop and right now. As a corrective (and maybe just to ingratiate myself to our potential future robot overlords), here's a roundup of one way in which AI is already making a positive difference in three important fields. Whenever anyone asks me about an unquestionably good use of AI, I point to one thing: AlphaFold. After all, how many other AI models have won their creators an actual Nobel Prize? AlphaFold, which was developed by the Google-owned AI company DeepMind, is an AI model that predicts the 3D structures of proteins based solely on their amino acid sequences. That's important because scientists need to predict the shape of protein to better understand how it might function and how it might be used in products like drugs. That's known as the 'protein-folding problem' — and it was a problem because while human researchers could eventually figure out the structure of a protein, it would often take them years of laborious work in the lab to do so. AlphaFold, through machine-learning methods I couldn't explain to you if I tried, can make predictions in as little as five seconds, with accuracy that is almost as good as gold-standard experimental methods. By speeding up a basic part of biomedical research, AlphaFold has already managed to meaningfully accelerate drug development in everything from Huntington's disease to antibiotic resistance. And Google DeepMind's decision last year to open source AlphaFold3, its most advanced model, for non-commercial academic use has greatly expanded the number of researchers who can take advantage of it. You wouldn't know it from watching medical dramas like The Pitt, but doctors spend a lot of time doing paperwork — two hours of it for every one hour they actually spend with a patient, by one count. Finding a way to cut down that time could free up doctors to do actual medicine and help stem the problem of burnout. That's where AI is already making a difference. As the Wall Street Journal reported this week, health care systems across the country are employing 'AI scribes' — systems that automatically capture doctor-patient discussions, update medical records, and generally automate as much as possible around the documentation of a medical interaction. In one pilot study employing AI scribes from Microsoft and a startup called Abridge, doctors cut back daily documentation time from 90 minutes to under 30 minutes. Not only do ambient-listening AI products free doctors from much of the need to make manual notes, but they can eventually connect new data from a doctor-patient interaction with existing medical records and ensure connections and insights on care don't fall between the cracks. 'I see it being able to provide insights about the patient that the human mind just can't do in a reasonable time,' Dr. Lance Owens, regional chief medical information officer at University of Michigan Health, told the Journal. A timely warning about a natural disaster can mean the difference between life and death, especially in already vulnerable poor countries. That is why Google Flood Hub is so important. An open-access, AI-driven river-flood early warning system, Flood Hub provides seven-day flood forecasts for 700 million people in 100 countries. It works by marrying a global hydrology model that can forecast river levels even in basins that lack physical flood gauges with an inundation model that converts those predicted levels into high-resolution flood maps. This allows villagers to see exactly what roads or fields might end up underwater. Flood Hub, to my mind, is one of the clearest examples of how AI can be used for good for those who need it most. Though many rich countries like the US are included in Flood Hub, they mostly already have infrastructure in place to forecast the effects of extreme weather. (Unless, of course, we cut it all from the budget.) But many poor countries lack those capabilities. AI's ability to drastically reduce the labor and cost of such forecasts has made it possible to extend those lifesaving capabilities to those who need it most. One more cool thing: The NGO GiveDirectly — which provides direct cash payments to the global poor — has experimented with using Flood Hub warnings to send families hundreds of dollars in cash aid days before an expected flood to help themselves prepare for the worst. As the threat of extreme weather grows, thanks to climate change and population movement, this is the kind of cutting-edge philanthropy. Even what seems to be the best applications for AI can come with their drawbacks. The same kind of AI technology that allows AlphaFold to help speed drug development could conceivably be used one day to more rapidly design bioweapons. AI scribes in medicine raise questions about patient confidentiality and the risk of hacking. And while it's hard to find fault in an AI system that can help warn poor people about natural disasters, the lack of access to the internet in the poorest countries can limit the value of those warnings — and there's not much AI can do to change that. But with the headlines around AI leaning so apocalyptic, it's easy to overlook the tangible benefits AI already delivers. Ultimately AI is a tool. A powerful tool, but a tool nonetheless. And like any tool, what it will do — bad and good — will be determined by how we use it. A version of this story originally appeared in the Good News newsletter. Sign up here!

"He's Not Just Building a Chip—He's Taking the Whole System": Former Hedge Fund Manager Says Musk's Dojo Signals a Full-Stack AI Takeover
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elon Musk didn't just build a faster chip. He built a new infrastructure — one that former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta believes could soon underpin the most powerful AI systems in the world. 'It's not about specs. It's about control,' Abeyta says. 'Musk is taking over every layer of the machine intelligence stack — from data, to chips, to real-world deployment.' In Abeyta's recent briefing, he explains that at the heart of this push is Dojo, a homegrown AI supercomputer designed to process visual data at massive scale — and train itself in real time. From Car Company to AI Empire Tesla's Dojo isn't just powering vehicles. It's being trained on 160 billion video frames per day from Tesla's global fleet — creating a loop where the machines not only drive, but learn how to drive on their own. 'With the latest software… Elon Musk's AI can already drive a car without any help from humans,' the report explains. And this summer, Tesla is expected to debut its robotaxi, a vehicle with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no human input. Musk Didn't Just Leave Nvidia. He Replaced It. After hitting roadblocks with Nvidia's chip supply, Musk pivoted fast — building his own chip in-house. That chip, which now powers Dojo, is reportedly 6x more powerful than Nvidia's best-selling model. 'I think this requires that we put a lot more effort on Dojo… I see a path to being competitive with Nvidia,' Musk said during a company update. It's not just about computing power — it's about sovereignty. According to Abeyta, 'Musk is removing every outside dependency he can.' AI as Infrastructure — Not Just Innovation Abeyta believes Musk's endgame isn't about one product — it's about owning the blueprint for the new machine economy. Morgan Stanley analysts suggest Dojo will be used in far more than cars: 'Dojo applications longer-term can extend beyond the auto industry. It can lay the foundation for vision-based AI models.' That means robots, drones, real-time logistics systems, and national defense platforms — all running on Musk's architecture. And support may already be lining up in Washington. 'President Trump just signed an executive order called 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation,'' Abeyta adds. 'He wants to accelerate the development of AI because he understands it's a matter of national security.' One of the companies powering Dojo's architecture is already 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration.' About Enrique Abeyta Enrique Abeyta is a former hedge fund manager who spent 25 years tracking macro-level transformations in capital markets, tech platforms, and global infrastructure. After overseeing nearly $4 billion in institutional capital, he now leads Breaking Profits, a research group dedicated to uncovering large-scale shifts in control, systems, and future-facing technologies.
