11 October 2024

CelcomDigi and SK Telecom have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together on initiatives to commercialise AI for the Malaysian market.

Under the MoU, CelcomDigi and SK Telecom will share information and cooperate on developing AI use cases in Malaysia, commercialising AI services, and exploring new business opportunities for scaling AI services. The AI use cases will initially be implemented within CelcomDigi’s own departments before moving to the commercialisation stage.

As per CelcomDigi’s CEO Idham Nawawi, the company aims to be one of the biggest AI companies in Malaysia in the next few years.

“We have the capabilities, we connect more than 20 million users on our network, we have solid infrastructure, we are building the facilities, and this is a good foundation for us to move to the space of AI,” said Nawawi.
