How Love Intelligence Creates Real Wealth in the AI Era

On 1 March 2026, at Singapore’s Bras Basah Complex, a different kind of talk took place.

Instead of discussing artificial intelligence, data, or technology trends, the keynote explored something far more human.

The topic was:

“How Love Intelligence Creates Real Wealth in the AI Era.”

The session, delivered by a speaker and author Andy Ng, lasted 90 minutes, significantly longer than his typical keynote.

The reason was simple.

The talk quickly turned into a dialogue.

Participants shared personal stories, asked questions, and reflected on how leadership is changing in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

As part of the session, every participant completed a Love Intelligence (LQ) assessment, a framework that examines how individuals build trust, relationships, and influence.

What emerged from the discussion was a simple but powerful idea.

Technology may increase efficiency, but human relationships create wealth.

In many organisations today, leaders focus heavily on intelligence, strategy, and performance metrics.

But the long-term success of any organisation depends on something less measurable:

trust.

According to the Love Intelligence framework, trust grows through three key capabilities:

• Care: understanding people and their needs
• Courage: making principled decisions even under pressure
• Connection: building meaningful relationships

These elements form the core of Love Intelligence (LQ).

In the AI era, knowledge is no longer scarce.

Information is widely available, and intelligent tools can generate answers instantly.

What remains uniquely human is the ability to care, connect, and inspire others.

That is why Love Intelligence may become one of the most important leadership capabilities in the coming decades.

The keynote also marked a continuation of a larger idea introduced in Andy Ng’s recent book:

“Love Intelligence” launched on 1 January 2026. (see https://asiatrainers.org/lqamazon)

The book argues that success in the modern world will not be defined solely by intelligence or technical skill. 

Instead, it will depend on the ability to build strong human relationships in an increasingly technological world.

In other words, while AI may transform industries, the ultimate advantage may still belong to those who remain deeply human.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
