In our continuing coverage of Budget 2025, today, we’re diving into Malaysia’s 2025 Budget and its focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Joining us today to break this down are Warren Leow and Khalil Nooh from the National AI Consortium (KAIN). Warren is CEO of AI-driven creative tools provider Pixlr and Khalil is Co-Founder & CEO of Mesolitica -a startup that is developing a Malaysian LLM. We’ll explore the hits and misses from Budget 2025, the critical steps Malaysia needs to take in AI development, and how KAIN is working to shape the country’s AI future.
