KUALA LUMPUR: I-Bhd
, the master planner of i-City, a fully integrated smart city, is collaborating with Mesiniaga Bhd on an Urban Intelligence Platform, deisgned to facilitate AI-native residential living.
According to a joint statement released by the parties, the platform will complement i-City's AI Living project- touted as the world's first AI and robotics residential development - which will allow technology to function invisibly in the background to enhance safety, security and everyday living experiences.
"At the core of the collaboration is a proprietary intelligence platform designed to coordinate multiple systems seamlessly, enabling residents to experience an adaptive, intuitive and integrated living environment rather than fragmented technologies and applications," said the statement.
According to Chua Seng Teong, deputy CEO of Mesiniaga, the collaboration leverages Mesiniaga’s established expertise in systems integration alongside its growing AI capabilities to enable the next generation of intelligent infrastructure, Physical AI and AIoT ecosystems.
Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong, chairman of I-Bhd, said the development of the Urban Intelligence Platform represents a fundamental shift in how future residential environments may evolve.
“In the past, buildings were designed around physical infrastructure. In the future, buildings will increasingly be designed around orchestration intelligence," he said.
“The real challenge is no longer whether robotics, AI wellness systems or intelligent buildings can exist independently. The challenge is enabling them to function together naturally, invisibly and reliably as part of everyday life. This is our AI Living vision.”
