BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Imagine Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, brought an engaging showcase of artificial intelligence (AI) to the Yayasan Hari Raya Aidilfitri Celebration on Saturday (April 4), featuring AI-powered robot performances and interactive displays that captivated audiences while demonstrating the role of technology in enhancing community experiences.
Five AI-powered robots, made possible through the support from strategic partners including Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD), Hengyi Industries, Muara Port Company (MPC), Perbadanan Tabung Amanah Islam Brunei (TAIB) Group of Companies, Maju Motors Sdn Bhd, and The Mulia Hotel as the official accommodation partner, were featured across a range of activities, including dance performances, a live calligraphy demonstration, and photo opportunities for the public.
The inclusion of AI elements in this year’s Hari Raya celebration reflects the event’s theme, ‘AI Innovation as a Catalyst for the Development of a Prosperous and Sustainable Society’, and supports Brunei Darussalam’s aspirations under Brunei Vision 2035.
By fostering collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders, such initiatives contribute to building a future-ready, digitally skilled society, while enhancing quality of life through innovation.
