Google’s global head of government affairs and public policy Karan Bhatia encourages Malaysian businesses to embrace AI upskilling programs, highlighting the benefits of generative AI solutions in driving economic growth and innovation.
The user-friendly nature of generative AI allows for diverse applications, from interacting with chatbots to creating content, enhancing productivity, and the full potential to boost innovation in both the public and private sectors according to Bernama.
Google said they have collaborated with leading Malaysian companies like Maxis, Gamuda, and Bank Muamalat to leverage AI technologies for operational efficiency and customer experience improvement.
In alignment with Malaysia’s MADANI Economy framework, Google partners with the Ministry of Higher Education to provide scholarships for AI-focused training programs, aiming to equip Malaysian youth with future-ready skills.
These initiatives, including the Gemilang program, aim to bridge the digital talent gap and support Malaysia’s growing digital economy, projected to reach significant milestones by 2025 and beyond.
Additionally, Google explores the possibility of establishing an in-country data centre to meet the increasing demand for AI services and other digital offerings in Malaysia.
