Over 450 high-skilled artificial intelligence (AI) engineering jobs will be created in Malaysia through the collaboration between the National AI Office (NAIO) and Global AI Village (GAIV).

Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said the goal is targeted for achievement within the next three to five years.

"This initiative is not just about importing global talent, but also nurturing local talent and ensuring Malaysians are at the forefront of AI innovation. We want to build a generation of AI leaders who can compete on the global stage,” he said in his speech at the launch of the NAIO Lab here on Thursday (Feb 6).

The NAIO Lab’s launch marks a pivotal step in Malaysia’s AI journey, setting the foundation for a future where AI-driven solutions foster not only economic growth but also societal progress.
