KUALA LUMPUR: Industry players are encouraged to strengthen cybersecurity, promote responsible artificial intelligence adoption, share best practices and build trusted digital capabilities that would benefit Malaysia for years to come, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said.
With digital technologies increasingly embedded across every sector of the economy, Fahmi said trust, security and resilience must advance in tandem with innovation.
“As more organisations embrace digital technologies, trust will become just as important as innovation,” he said at the launch of the U Mobile Enterprise Innovation Platform Hub here yesterday, Bernama reported.
He said businesses must have confidence that the digital infrastructure they rely on is secure, while consumers must have confidence that their data is protected.
In addition, he said organisations must adopt AI responsibly, transparently and ethically.
“These are fundamental building blocks of a resilient digital economy.”
He said the government remains committed to strengthening cybersecurity, enhancing network resilience and promoting ethical AI adoption to ensure sustainable digital progress.
The Enterprise Innovation Platform Hub brought together enterprises, technology providers, innovators, academia and the public sector, establishing a collaborative ecosystem where ideas can be tested, solutions validated and emerging technologies commercialised more rapidly.
Fahmi also highlighted the adoption of 5G Advanced, or Ultra 5G, noting its potential to transform agriculture, retail and healthcare by leveraging AI and robotics to boost productivity.
He said the technology is capable of enhancing productivity and operational efficiency across these sectors.
Fahmi pointed to the potential of 5G-powered drones for border surveillance, noting that 5G connectivity is already supporting drone monitoring operations in several areas nationwide.
