Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation Sdn Bhd is expected to complete the National Artificial Intelligence Framework development by year-end to drive the AI ecosystem in the country.
According to a recent study jointly conducted by Microsoft and IDC Asia Pacific, Malaysia is not ready yet for AI, and needs to focus on all areas, particularly investments and data, to accelerate its journey. The AI Readiness Index ranges from one to four, with the higher score indicating the higher level of readiness for AI adoption.Commenting on the findings, Ng said MDEC is working closely with industry players to promote and raise awareness on the need to invest in AI adoption.
