Transformative technologies are revolutionising our everyday lives. More and more global companies are slowly but surely gravitating their way for collaboration and building hubs as the Malaysian government continues accelerating investments into the AI infrastructure.
In line with this, we hosted our flagship event, the TM R&D Tech Mocktail, with the theme “Transformative opportunities with AI everywhere.” This fifth cycle of the series, where brilliant minds met, featured discussions on various AI topics including finding the balance between adopting technology to achieve efficiency, productivity, and exponential growth.
The event was led by Dato’ Zainal Abidin Putih, Chairman of TM, and Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mazliham Mohd Su’ud, President & Chief Executive Officer of MMU / Chairman of TM R&D. We were also honoured to welcome Dato’ Sri Idris Jala, Chairman of PEMANDU Associates, who captivated the audience with an insightful keynote on transformative leadership in a digital world.
His address highlighted that to drive the AI ecosystem in Malaysia, leaders should focus on pursuing “the Game of Impossible” by setting ambitious goals that challenge the status quo. He also encouraged collaboration by fostering partnerships between the government, industry, and academia to share knowledge and resources. Last but not least, he emphasised enforcing a discipline of action, so that plans are followed through with clear milestones.
Following this, we had an engaging panel session entitled “AI for Good: Unlocking Leadership Perspectives for Exponential Growth.” Moderated by Freda Liu, the panel debated three broad areas: policies, talent, and sustainable growth. They discussed issues such as AI taking over jobs, important skills for professionals as AI becomes more integrated into various sectors and the evolution of AI technologies and its impact on fintech in the near future.
Our panel of experts included Gautam Prakash, Regional Sales Director (Enterprise), APJC, Rakuten Cloud; Azizah Ali, Chief Operating Officer, Microsoft Malaysia; Preetha Nadarajah, Technology Advisor, The Social Loan Company; Raghavender ganti, Malaysia Enterprise Country Head, NVIDIA; and Subagaran Letchumanan, Vice President, Design Engineering Group, Intel Malaysia.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our speakers, guests, and everyone who contributed to making TM R&D’s 5th Tech Mocktail a fantastic success!
