In other words, will AI and technology ensure a more sustainable future for all, where no one's healthcare needs are neglected?



In conjunction with Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day, Prof Tshilidzi Marwala joins us, drawing on his professional expertise as an artificial intelligence engineer to imagine a 21st-century Malaysia, how current developments in AI and technology should be shaped to set the path for the next century, and what Malaysia will need to build up, not only to utilise the technology, but to drive its development. Prof Marwala is currently the Rector of the United Nations University and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations.
