Hybrid AI solutions that evolve with your needs
The AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE) is Malaysia’s national knowledge hub for applied artificial intelligence, designed to turn vision into execution. It brings together global expertise, local talent and real-world challenges to create practical AI solutions that deliver measurable impact. By combining machine learning with operations research in a hybrid AI approach, the CoE develops systems that are faster to build, more cost-effective to run, and easier to integrate into existing infrastructures.
More than a research initiative, the AI CoE is a catalyst for transformation. It unites government, industry and academia in one ecosystem where applied AI solutions are developed, tested and scaled. From smarter enforcement and logistics to computer vision, predictive analytics and robotics, the CoE bridges research and deployment ensuring Malaysia builds sovereign AI capabilities that directly improve governance, industry efficiency and citizen services.
AI CoE
How it works?
We begin by assessing your operations, data readiness, and strategic goals to identify high-impact AI opportunities. Our team then co-develops custom AI models with your organization, integrating them seamlessly into existing systems. Alongside solution deployment, we deliver training and mentorship to build in-house AI expertise. This ensures every solution is sustainable, scalable and aligned with long-term needs.
The AI CoE empowers Malaysia to take control of its digital future by reducing dependence on foreign technologies and talent. It delivers results in months, not years, through its 90-day proof-of-concept model that quickly demonstrates value while training the next generation of local AI experts. For governments, this means better governance and transparency. For industries, cost optimization and accelerated innovation. For academia, new opportunities to collaborate and commercialize research. And for citizens, safer, smarter and fairer services that enhance daily life.
Traditional AI adoption often fails because it is expensive, slow and disconnected from real needs. Organizations struggle with fragmented systems, a shortage of AI-ready talent and heavy reliance on external providers. The AI CoE solves these challenges by offering ready-to-customize solutions such as AIRES for enforcement routing, AirCity for urban logistics and computer vision for asset monitoring while embedding knowledge transfer into every project. This approach closes the gap between ambition and execution, helping Malaysia cut inefficiencies, build local expertise and establish itself as a leader in applied AI.
