Published
Malaysia is now stepping towards a digital future by aiming to create 300,000 job opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to strengthen the national economy through modern technology.
The government aims for the AI sector to contribute between 0.8 to 1.2 percent to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This move is seen as a crucial strategy to ensure Malaysia remains competitive in a global market that is increasingly dependent on advanced technology.
To achieve this goal, focus will be placed on developing local talent and upskilling the existing workforce. Various training programs will be introduced to equip Malaysians with the technical skills required in the AI industry.
Furthermore, the government will also encourage collaboration between the public and private sectors to build an ecosystem that supports AI innovation. Investment in digital infrastructure and research will be increased to attract more international technology companies to establish a presence in Malaysia.
Overall, this target reflects Malaysia's commitment to becoming a regional technology hub. With the right support, the country is expected to be able to produce a generation of skilled workers ready to face the challenges of the digital economy in the future.
