As part of a global initiative to advance responsible and impactful investment in AI, the Project Liberty Institute (PLI) deepened its engagement with Asian investors through a series of high-level meetings and events across Singapore and Japan this October.

Building on the work in 2024 with strategic partners ReframeVenture, Omidyar Network, and ImpactVC, these engagements aimed to broaden the Institute’s ongoing LP and VC processes on responsible AI and data investment—an initiative that has already involved investors with over $6 trillion in capital across Europe and North America.

PLI’s CEO Sheila Warren emphasized “ASEAN, and Southeast Asia more broadly, are an innovation powerhouse—home to extraordinary entrepreneurial energy and forward-looking investors. For decades, the region has been ahead of the curve when it comes to the adoption of frontier technologies, and it is uniquely positioned to help shape an AI era that upholds individual agency and inspires human-centered business models. As such, this is a crucial region for PLI’s mission to recenter humanity in the global digital economy.”
