Navigating the Malaysia AI Blueprint 2025: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Road to AI Visionary Status
PANEL DISCUSSION
The Malaysian AI Blueprint 2025 provides a comprehensive framework for guiding the country’s AI development. It outlines the current AI maturity landscape, identifies key challenges and opportunities, and provides recommendations for achieving AI visionary status. The panel discussion will highlight the importance of investing in research and development, talent development, and infrastructure to foster a sustainable AI ecosystem. It also emphasizes the need to address ethical considerations and ensure responsible AI development.
The panel discussion will also focus on specific use cases and success stories. The blueprint showcases the potential benefits and examples of AI in various sectors, such as healthcare (drug discovery), agriculture (robotics), education (GPT-powered tutors), and construction (predictive maintenance, project planning, and BIM optimization). It demonstrates how AI can contribute to addressing pressing challenges and driving economic growth. The Malaysian AI Blueprint 2025 serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, businesses, and researchers, providing a roadmap for harnessing the power of AI to build a more innovative and prosperous future for Malaysia.

High-Value AI Use Cases: Driving Innovation Across Asia
PANEL DISCUSSION
Asia has witnessed a surge in AI adoption across various industries, with numerous high-value use cases emerging. From healthcare to manufacturing, AI is transforming operations, enhancing efficiency, and driving innovation, empowering citizens with new possibilities. Examples include AI-powered disease diagnosis (cancer detection and retinal disease) in healthcare, digital twins and generative design in manufacturing, fraud detection (for financial security), and personalized recommendations (based on individual preferences and past purchases) in retail.
The successful implementation of high-value AI use cases requires addressing challenges such as data quality, talent shortage, and ethical considerations. Tune into this panel discussion and learn how Asian countries can unlock the full potential of AI and gain a competitive edge in the global market.

Generative AI, Quantum Computing, and AGI: The Next Frontier of Artificial Intelligence
PANEL DISCUSSION
The intersection of generative AI, quantum computing, and AGI represents a new frontier in artificial intelligence. Generative AI’s ability to create novel content and solve complex problems is being enhanced by quantum computing’s potential to process vast amounts of data exponentially faster. As these technologies converge, researchers are exploring their combined capabilities to accelerate progress towards AGI.
However, the development of generative AI, quantum computing, and AGI raises ethical concerns, such as hallucination (fabricated facts), bias (in hiring, lending, and criminal justice), job displacement (especially for low-skilled workers), and the potential misuse of these technologies (deepfakes, financial market manipulation, and autonomous weapons).
It is crucial to address these issues and ensure responsible AI development with guardrails in place to harness the benefits while mitigating the risks. Join us in this panel discussion to explore the exciting world of generative AI, quantum computing, and AGI, and discuss the future of these technologies.

Empowering Malaysian SMEs with AI: Propelling Growth and Competitiveness
PANEL DISCUSSION
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of Malaysia’s economy, and AI offers transformative opportunities to enhance their competitiveness. This panel discussion will explore how AI can empower SMEs in Malaysia to boost productivity, improve customer insights, and streamline operations, even with limited resources.
Panelists will discuss practical use cases, such as using AI for customer relationship management (CRM) to gain deeper insights into customer behavior, implementing AI-driven inventory management to optimize supply chains, and adopting affordable automation tools to improve operational efficiency. Examples from local SMEs that have successfully integrated AI, such as predictive analytics for sales forecasting or chatbot-based customer service, will provide real-world insights.
The discussion will also address the unique challenges Malaysian SMEs face, including limited access to AI talent, budget constraints, and concerns around data privacy. Panelists will explore support mechanisms, such as government incentives, training programs, and accessible AI platforms tailored for SMEs. Join us to discover how AI can fuel growth for Malaysia’s SMEs, helping them thrive in a competitive market while supporting the nation’s digital economy goals.
