As we edge closer to 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, redefine innovation, and open up new opportunities for businesses globally. In Malaysia, AI has become an important tool, enhancing operational efficiency, improving customer experiences, and driving data-informed decision-making.

Joining us today is Dickson Woo, the Managing Director of IBM Malaysia, to discuss the significant changes in the APAC AI Outlook 2025 Report. We'll cover the shift from initial trials to ROI-focused AI strategies, the adoption of open-source models, and emerging trends like generative and agentic AI. This discussion, we hope, will provide valuable insights to help Malaysian enterprises stay competitive and prepare for growth in an AI-driven future.
