01 / 06Why we exist

3.1073° N, 101.6067° E

Malaysia has the talent, the industry and the ambition. What it needs is a shared table — where builders, researchers, policymakers and communities shape AI that is competitive, responsible and works for everyone.

AI is moving faster than any single company, university or agency can keep up with alone. Startups struggle to find their first enterprise customer; corporates struggle to find talent; researchers struggle to turn papers into products; and communities risk being left behind.

Persatuan Industry AI Malaysia exists to close those gaps. We are a member-led, non-profit association registered under the community welfare category — because we believe the benefits of AI should reach every Malaysian, not only those building it.
