Sarawak to debut advanced AI device, as announced by Abang Johari, in the month of September.
Sarawak to Launch AI-Based Device at End of September
Sarawak is set to make a significant stride in the technology sector with the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) based device at the end of September. The announcement was made by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg at Dewan Suarah Sarikei, following the Sarawak-level 68th National Day celebrations.
This new device is a value-add to what is called an AI power chip, and it boasts a higher capacity than its predecessor. The creation of the device involved cooperation with CSA Catapult UK, and the Sarawak Artificial Intelligence Centre (SAIC) played a pivotal role in its development.
SAIC, established by Sarawak, encourages research and development, prepares platforms for start-ups and entrepreneurs, and trains a high-skilled workforce. It functions as an AI reference and innovation centre, aiming to help develop digital solutions capable of entering the global market.
Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg previously launched KETEQ AI in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom in April. KETEQ AI is awaiting intellectual property registration before commercialisation, and the commercialisation of the new AI-based devices will be done through collaboration with industry partners. The company that Sarawak is collaborating with has not been mentioned in the provided search results.
The launch of the new device is a manifestation of Sarawak's vision to be a technology creator. It aims to provide added value to Sarawak's resources, and the commercialisation of KETEQ AI through SAIC is expected to contribute significantly to the state's tech industry.
The Sarawak government's commitment to technological advancement is evident in the establishment of SAIC and the upcoming launch of the new AI-based device. This move is expected to bolster Sarawak's position as a key player in the tech industry and further propel its economic growth.
