The Higher Education Ministry is developing Malaysia’s first Faculty of artificial intelligence (AI) in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) as part of the effort to meet current needs.
Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir said the Higher Education Committee approved the AI Bachelor’s Degree programme in January, adding that the programme’s first cohort will begin their studies in October this year.
“The AI development and curriculum has been identified to fulfil industrial needs, involving experts in the AI field and in line with the National AI Roadmap 2021-2025 initiated by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry,” he said.
He said this when winding the debate on the motion of thanks on the royal address on behalf of the ministry in Dewan Rakyat today.
Zambry said the Higher Education Ministry is working towards realising the country’s agenda to grow skilled talents that meet industrial requirements and future-proof graduates.
“The ministry has also developed a High Value and High Technology Programme Development Framework aimed at producing graduates who are able to face the ever-changing and competitive job landscape in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0,” he added.
