Quick Summary:

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian government has seized the opportunity presented by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), working hard to transform the country into a global AI powerhouse, said Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong.

Among the speakers at the summit are those from local and foreign corporations, including NVIDIA, YTL, Sunway, Gamuda, Google, and 500 Global.
