Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, President & CEO, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB); Dr. Siew Chan Cheong, Chief Strategy Officer, Maybank; Pedro Uria-Recio, Chief Data and AI Officer, CIMB; and Shamsul Majid, CEO, National AI Office (NAIO). Together, they share their perspectives on how Malaysia can scale artificial intelligence responsibly while remaining globally competitive.TNB, Malaysia’s largest electricity utility, has been embedding AI into energy operations to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Maybank, one of ASEAN’s leading financial services groups, highlights how data fundamentals, not just access to technology  are the real differentiator, and why AI will become a basic requirement rather than a competitive edge within five years. CIMB, another major regional bank, outlines a progression of AI maturity from productivity tools to copilots, autonomous agents, and eventually AI teams. From the policy side, the National AI Office discusses Malaysia’s framework for responsible AI and the importance of ethics and standards.The discussion captures both the opportunities and challenges facing enterprises as they prepare for the next S-curve of digital transformation, balancing innovation, compliance, and workforce readiness.
