AI is reshaping industries worldwide, but Malaysia’s digital journey has its own challenges and opportunities. We speak with Prateek Pashine, Chief Enterprise Business Officer at Maxis, about a new IDC Infobrief study commissioned by Maxis Business, the B2B arm of leading integrated telco Maxis, on AI adoption and digital transformation among Malaysian enterprises. They discuss how Malaysian businesses compare with our regional peers, the barriers holding us back, and how we can move from small-scale pilots to impactful AI-driven transformation.
