Empowering Malaysia with AI: Shahril Hussin on AXIS AI's Vision for the Future

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept of the distant future; it is a transformative force shaping economies, industries, and societies globally. In Malaysia, AI is at the forefront of driving innovation, improving efficiencies, and unlocking new opportunities. At the heart of this movement is AXIS AI, a company dedicated to preparing Malaysians to thrive in this AI-powered world. Shahril Hussin, the Executive Director of AXIS AI, shares his insights on the evolving landscape of AI in Malaysia and how his organization is playing a pivotal role in this transformative journey.

The AI Revolution in Malaysia

Malaysia is poised to become a regional leader in AI adoption, with initiatives such as the National AI Roadmap paving the way. From healthcare to manufacturing, finance to education, AI is becoming a core driver of transformation. Yet, as the potential for AI grows, so does the need for Malaysians to be equipped with the right skills to harness its power.

“AI is not just about technology; it’s about people,” says Shahril. “While technology evolves rapidly, the true challenge lies in ensuring that Malaysians are prepared to integrate AI into their work, businesses, and lives.”

AXIS AI’s Role: Bridging the Knowledge Gap

“To build an AI-ready Malaysia, we need collaboration—between the government, private sector, and educational institutions. AXIS AI is proud to be part of this ecosystem, working tirelessly to empower Malaysians,” Shahril says.
