About

The GSA AI Software Interest Group (ASIG) is a neutral, global collaboration platform led out of the Asia-Pacific region, where executives and experts involved in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Software meet with peers, partners, suppliers, and customers to foster collaboration, insight exchange, and collective innovation in the deployment and development of AI-enhanced software systems.

  • Collaboration takes place both during dedicated events and through intelligently moderated working groups on carefully chosen topics.
  • The Interest Group produces and collects high-quality articles, reports, and other resources that will be shared with GSA ASIG participants and members.
  • Interest Group members are primary GSA members and selected companies from the expanded ecosystem and related market verticals who have a vested interest in the deployment and development of AI-enhanced software systems.

The AI Software Interest Group (ASIG) aims to achieve the following key objectives:

  • Facilitate structured peer exchange on the integration of AI capabilities into software systems
  • Enable collaboration on AI software tooling, architecture, and deployment practices
  • Offer visibility into regional best practices and company-level innovation in AI software
