Public Sector Day - AI for Rakyat

Putrajaya | 28 May, 2024

OVERVIEW

The Government has unveiled the Ekonomi MADANI: Memperkasa Rakyat framework with the vision of ‘Building a Better Malaysia Together’. The framework lays the foundation for Malaysia to ascend on its development trajectory and to regain the nation’s status as an Asian Tiger. The initiatives under the Budget 2024 will concentrate on reforming the ecosystem such as fortifying parliamentary and legal institutions; digitizing government services; reinforcing social resilience; ensuring fiscal sustainability; enhancing legislations; and optimizing public service delivery.

Red Hat continues to be a trusted partner with the government for more than 20 years, helping agencies meet security and risk management goals. Driving the AI revolution is generative AI, which is built on foundation models. Foundation models are offered through commercial sources or available as open source. But these pretrained models won’t help you realize your AI strategy alone. You need a platform that can train, prompt-tune, fine tune, and serve these models for your unique use case and with your own data.

Join us in-person where you will be on the journey towards AI for Rakyat.
