Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said today that the state government is establishing the Sarawak AI Centre, which will lead the state's initiatives in artificial intelligence (AI) development and its integration into the digital infrastructure.

He said the center would be pivotal in driving innovation and positioning Sarawak as a hub for AI research and development.

"Through strategic partnerships with academic institutions, industry leaders, and government entities, the Sarawak AI Centre will be nurturing a vibrant AI ecosystem," he said at the opening of the Seventh International Digidal Economy Conference Sarawak (IDECS) here today.

He said one of the center’s flagship initiatives was the "AI for Smart Agriculture" program, which uses AI-powered data analytics to optimize crop yields and promote sustainability in agriculture.
