In the rapidly evolving digital economy landscape, harnessing technological advancements for sustainable and inclusive growth is vital. In my previous article, I delved into the transformative potential of the digital realm, highlighting the many ways it has reshaped industries and empowered businesses.

Malaysia is coming up with a set of artificial intelligence (AI) governance and code of ethics on the back of increased interest in the AI businesses expanding their reach and accessing new markets.

Malaysia will have its first ‘minister of digital’ with Gobind Singh Deo to lead the country’s tech initiatives ranging from AI to data centres. But the country’s focus on new technologies has also heightened concerns about data security among Malaysians

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining ground across the public sector and is reflective of a larger trend in governments. In line with this global perspective, the Malaysian government, too, is looking into it to speed up the development of smart cities, smart communities and online payments and financial services.

Malaysians have been urged to take advantage of the newly-launched 'AI Untuk Rakyat' programme to enhance their knowledge and understanding of artificial intelligence technology.

ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is progressively being recognised as the new general purpose technology that will bring about revolutionary economic transformation similar to the Industrial Revolution.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated the government is serious about the country’s digital transformation and wants to ensure that the general public is fully aware of its initiatives to promote digital literacy and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to unlock an astounding estimated worth of US$113.4 billion in productive capacity, propelling Malaysia to achieve a high income nation.

Only 13% of organisations in Malaysia are fully prepared to deploy and leverage artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technologies, according to Cisco’s inaugural AI Readiness Index released on Thursday. However, 33% of companies were categorised as chasers (those who are partially prepared), 53% of companies as followers, and only 1% of companies as laggards (not prepared).

AS the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation continues to reshape industries worldwide, Malaysia is no exception to the transformative power of these technologies.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the country’s economy and job market, bringing forth a wave of increased productivity and opening doors to new opportunities, the co-founder & CEO of Malaysia HR Forum Arulkumar Singaraveloo said.
