BEIJING, Sept 28 – Malaysia welcomes the collaboration of telecommunications companies with any local media organisations to develop artificial intelligence (AI) applications to help produce content, as well as report efficiently and effectively.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil gave Huawei as an example of a company from China that has sophisticated AI applications that can be used in various fields, including the media and film industries.
“I found that there are some very interesting applications, whether in terms of digital twinning, language translation applications, large language modeling (LLM) to study weather forecasts and also some other applications to optimise network.
“So I have asked MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) to look into some of these applications, I have also asked Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) and the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) to examine, especially the aspect of using AI for translation,” he told Bernama news agency.
He said this after witnessing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Signing Ceremony between Huawei represented by Huawei Malaysia chief executive officer Simon Sun and U Mobile represented by chief marketing officer Navin Manian.
Through the MoU, both companies will collaborate on developing solutions for Malaysia’s vertical markets, including SMEs and logistics, by drawing on Huawei’s experience with global enterprise business models.
Earlier, Fahmi spent about 40 minutes seeing for himself the AI technology used by Huawei in various fields such as health, telecommunications, digital content production and housing.
