KUALA LUMPUR: Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in Malaysia grew 35% year-on-year, with about 2.4 million businesses already using AI, according to a report by Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company.
In its “Unlocking Malaysia’s AI Potential” report, AWS said the adoption rate increased to 27% this year from 20% in 2024, equivalent to around 630,000 businesses adopting AI this year, or more than one every minute. While AI adoption continues to expand rapidly, 73% of them remain focused on basic applications.
“Only 31% of startups and 15% of large enterprises are developing entirely new AI-driven products,” it said. The report noted that combining the agility and innovation of startups with the scale and resources of large enterprises could unlock Malaysia’s AI-driven economic potential. — Bernama
