About the Event

Malaysia’s data and AI market is rapidly expanding, fueled by strong government support, growing ICT infrastructure, and rising digital transformation. With over US $40 billion in AI investments expected by 2030, cloud adoption and hyperscale data centers are accelerating. While workforce interest in AI is high, many organizations are still early in adoption, facing challenges like talent gaps and infrastructure limits. Public sentiment is a mix of excitement and concerns over job impacts and privacy.

 

Key trends include cloud-first AI deployment, AI-powered analytics in sectors like e-commerce and finance, and localized AI models supporting the Malay language and edge computing. Important topics also include workforce upskilling, regulatory frameworks, and environmental concerns from data center growth. Don’t miss Rockbird Media’s upcoming event to connect with experts, explore the latest trends, and discover solutions to advance your business in Malaysia’s AI revolution.
