Monday, July 04, 2022: Now is the ideal time for Malaysia to surge ahead of the pack because the promise of AI is still far from being fully realised. The 37th global edition of World AI Show – Malaysia, supported by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), is scheduled to take place virtually on July 13, 2022, with a special emphasis on the Malaysian market.

The show will feature eye-opening keynotes, use-case presentations, product exhibitions, panel discussions and tech talks to find solutions for issues and trends within the AI space.

Growth of AI in Malaysia.

Around the world, AI is gradually being incorporated into a variety of businesses. Malaysia has made great advancements in the way the healthcare and fashion industries currently function. Unsurprisingly, this is a result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s drive to challenge the status quo in the healthcare sector and perhaps even lower mortality rates in the long run. Anticipation for the next industrial revolution includes expectations for AI to significantly advance and permeate more industries. 

Dimitrios Kalogeropoulos, Digital Health and Innovation Expert, WHO, emphasizes that, “Digital health inclusion and equity will soon be inherited wicked problems. And while small interventions may continue benefiting some vulnerable groups for some time, a sustaining longer term innovation strategy mandates a new paradigm that unites stakeholders, drives directionality and impact and elevates a sense of policy purpose.”

Jacky Cheong, Head of Enterprise Data Governance at Celcom Axiata who is also the winner of the Malaysian Technology Excellence Awards for Enterprise Data Governance, 2022 stated, “Without good Governance on Data, the advance technologies of AI/ML/RPA would not be working efficiently and effectively in delivering business values.”

Jiunn Hao, the Director of APAC Partnerships at Dataiku stated, “Dataiku will show attendees how extraordinary AI for everyday purpose is brought to life in this edition of the World AI Show, Malaysia 2022. As a Lead sponsor, we await the opportunity to connect and discuss how to realise your AI strategy at scale and speed; no matter the stage of AI or analytics maturity. Meet us at our booth to find out more on how Data Science meets Everyday Use!”

The 37th global edition of World AI Show is designed to address these matters in question and pave the way to move ahead,” stated Mithun Shetty, CEO, Trescon.
