Are Businesses in Malaysia’s AI Scene Ready to Compete at a Global Stage?

On this episode, we look at Artificial Intelligence with a focus on Malaysia's journey towards global competitiveness in this field. We speak with Farouk Nurish, Co-Founder of TM8 Sdn Bhd, a pioneering tech firm renowned for its innovative AI platform, Team M8.

Throughout the conversation, Farouk gives us insights into Malaysia's distinctive strengths and weaknesses within the tech ecosystem, and how they influence the nation's efforts to carve a niche in the fiercely competitive AI market. We also explore the pivotal steps required to foster greater recognition and support for homegrown tech enterprises in Malaysia.
