About This Event

AI is shaping industries everywhere but what does it mean for Malaysia to have its own sovereign AI? How do we build tools and models that reflect our local needs, languages and culture instead of relying solely on global tech giants? This month, we’re diving deep into the hot topic of Sovereign AI for Malaysia with 2 amazing guest speakers who are actively building in this space:

  • Foong Chee Mun – Chief Executive Officer, YTL AI LABS
  • Khalil Nooh – Chief Executive Officer, Mesolitica

They’ll be unpacking the challenges and opportunities around building sovereign AI systems, from data ownership to national security, innovation and the local AI ecosystem. As a bonus, we’ll also have a sneak preview of ILMU Chat, an upcoming AI tool built right here in Malaysia, which is scheduled to go live to the public on 16 Sept 2025.

🔥 What’s in Store:

  • Insights from AI leaders on why sovereignty matters in tech
  • Discussion on Malaysia’s role in shaping its own AI future
  • Sneak peek at ILMU Chat, a homegrown AI tool
  • Open Q&A + casual networking with the community

Come for the ideas, stay for the conversations. Whether you’re in AI, building a startup or just curious about how tech will impact Malaysia, this is the place to be.
