MIMOS-Phison AI seminar to boost Malaysian innovation and competitiveness

The Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang, officiated the MIMOS-Phison ‘Empowering Communities With AI: Unlocking Potential Through Technology’ Seminar at MIMOS Berhad, Bukit Jalil in May.

The seminar is a crucial platform for sharing AI advancements with industry players, research institutes, and the government sector. Following their recent Memorandum of Cooperation, MIMOS and Phison aim to advance AI-driven model training in Malaysia, addressing the need for secure AI applications that boost competitiveness, especially for Malaysian SMEs.

AI is revolutionising industries, enhancing efficiency, and solving complex problems. For Malaysia, embracing AI is essential for global competitiveness and achieving high-income, high-tech nation status.

The Malaysian government, through MOSTI, supports AI initiatives by ensuring infrastructure, policies, and incentives for AI development. MIMOS Berhad’s partnership with Phison is crucial to this commitment.

YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang highlighted in his keynote address that the partnership aims not only to benefit SMEs immediately but also to enhance Malaysia’s capabilities in integrated circuits development and system design.

The collaboration provides substantial opportunities for knowledge transfer to Malaysians, empowering them to advance their skills and expertise in AI. An exemplary initiative under this collaboration is the MIMOS-Phison ‘Empowering Communities With AI: Unlocking Potential Through Technology’ Seminar conducted after the launch. This partnership will facilitate advanced training and hands-on experience, equipping Malaysia’s workforce with the necessary capabilities to thrive in the dynamic AI field.
