Anwar also says that the National AI Office (NAIO) will be getting nearly RM20 million. This is to be used to developing skilled talent, strengthening digital infrastructure, and creating an efficient AI ecosystem.

Beyond upcoming efforts, Anwar also mentions Microsoft’s investment into the country with the establishment of the Malaysia West cloud region. Also mentioned was the launch of the Intelek Luhur Malaysia Untukmu (ILMU) LLM made by Universiti Malaya and YTL AI Labs. A chatbot has also been derived from it, called ILMUChat, which not only understand local context, but is also claimed to understand the local mix of languages.
