I-Berhad, a leading Malaysia-based property developer, has unveiled the AI World Experience Centre at its i-City development in Shah Alam, Selangor, marking a historic milestone as the country's first large-scale immersive showcase of artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics.
This groundbreaking facility, soft-opened on December 18, 2025, at the i-City Sales Gallery, is set to officially welcome the public on January 13, 2026, offering a glimpse into the future of technology.
A New Era of AI Exploration in Malaysia
The AI World Experience Centre promises to be a hub for innovation, allowing visitors to interact with cutting-edge AI technologies and robotics in an engaging, hands-on environment.
The launch aligns with Malaysia's broader vision to become a regional leader in AI, as the nation continues to invest heavily in digital transformation and smart city initiatives.
Historically, i-City has been a pioneer in integrating technology with urban development, transforming Shah Alam into a digital and tourism hub over the past decade.
Impact on Malaysia's Tech Landscape
The establishment of this center is expected to inspire a new generation of innovators, fostering interest in AI among students, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts across the country.
Collaborations with institutions like Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) further underscore I-Berhad's commitment to bridging industry and academia, accelerating research and development in AI and robotics.
Economically, the center could attract international tech companies and investors, positioning Malaysia as a key player in the global AI ecosystem.
Looking Ahead: The Future of AI in Malaysia
Looking to the future, the AI World Experience Centre may serve as a catalyst for more AI-driven projects, potentially influencing sectors like healthcare, education, and urban planning in Malaysia.
Environmental concerns, however, remain a topic of discussion, as the rise of AI infrastructure, including data centers, poses challenges related to energy consumption and sustainability.
Nevertheless, with government support and private sector innovation, Malaysia is poised to navigate these challenges while embracing the AI revolution.
