Unlike traditional automation, agentic AI systems proactively make decisions and adapt in real time. In Australia, financial services firms are experimenting with agentic AI for portfolio management. Logistics companies in Australia are piloting AI agents that can dynamically reroute delivery vehicles based on real-time traffic conditions and delivery schedules. In India, smart campus deployments use agentic systems to optimize energy usage and student services — transforming static systems into intelligent assistants.
As IoT devices flood urban and industrial environments, security remains a top priority. Countries such as Singapore and South Korea are strengthening their cybersecurity frameworks to secure smart infrastructure. Industrial internet-of-things deployments in manufacturing hubs across Vietnam and Thailand are seeing increased investments in anomaly detection, Zero Trust architectures, and edge-based threat mitigation.
