Universities are encouraged to create their own artificial intelligence (AI) disciplines, but a unified effort by experts is essential to establish a strong foundation for AI development, says Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday (Dec 16), the Higher Education Minister also said the aerospace industry will be prioritised by the ministry through plans and strategies set by the government in line with the influx of investments.

00:00Before this, there may be a suggestion that all universities in the field of AI can be connected.
00:09Yes, we want AI to be understood not only from the industrial point of view.
00:19That's why universities that have a field, for example, the Faculty of Computer Science,
00:26or the Faculty of Communication, are no longer traditional.
00:36That's why we encourage universities to have their own field of AI.
00:42However, we have an approach called NEXUS, or a consortium of universities,
00:52where the leading university is UTM for this level.
00:58But it does not prevent other universities to introduce.
01:02Because if we want to build something new, we must gather all our expertise,
01:08build one, and then others can see what fields we want to build that are related to AI.
01:19Because we don't want everyone to build AI.
01:24Each of them creates their own AI, but they don't know what AI content they want to make,
01:28what is actually needed.
01:30That's why we use all the expertise, sit together,
01:34and then think about what universities want to do,
01:38and what universities can benefit from it.
01:43Aside from AI, are there any other fields in space?
01:48Because the number of cosmoparticles in the universe is almost 10,000.
01:52Yes, that's one of the things we have to make sure,
01:56including in the field of aerospace, but also in the industry,
02:00in the field of E&E, semiconductor, which is not a new field.
02:07Malaysia has strength in the field of semiconductor.
02:10We have built this industry for more than 50 years.
02:15And now, the demand for Malaysia in this industry is increasing.
02:23It needs a large number of people, because the industry is coming to Malaysia.
02:30The FDI is coming, the new ones are coming.
02:32So it needs new workers in the field related to it.
02:41In the field of aerospace, that is another field that will be given priority,
02:47based on the plans and plans of the Malaysian government,
02:52through the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
02:57and others, based on the investments that come to our country.
