Today, we are in the early stages of the AI revolution, where AI is increasingly integrated in everyday life. You might have interacted with AI-powered chatbots, ChatGPT, and now DeepSeek. Or you invest in stock portfolios and ETFs that track the Magnificent 7 tech giants, major players in AI. In this new Age of Intelligence, AI is ushering in sweeping changes to business, economy and society.
The Madani government is moving strategically to harness the game-changing potentials of AI. From the recent launch of the National AI Office to address policies and regulation to rolling out the red carpet for billion-ringgit investments in cloud and data centres, Malaysia is clearly signalling that AI is a priority.
What does this shift to AI mean for professionals in the public sector? One, it’s time to pivot to digital transformation, in order to upskill for evolving roles that require the use of tools such as data analytics, cloud and AI. Two, adapting to AI and becoming adept is essential for public sector accountancy professionals to help mainstream the national AI agenda and establish Malaysia as a regional AI powerhouse amidst geopolitical turbulence.
