Asean should develop its technology industry and not fall behind in the global artificial intelligence race, said Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
“While Asean is playing a pivotal role in the supply chain of chips, the Asean bloc can tap into its vast knowledge to develop its own tech companies by using 5G and exploring the fields of digital education, healthcare predictive analysis, renewable energy, fintech as a service and more efficient logistics,” he said in his keynote address today at the Selangor Asean Business Conference 2023 themed “Selangor, Epicentre of Asean: Leveraging Diversity, Catalysing Opportunity, Creating Prosperity.
“We can no longer behave as proxies of the western world. We must now think “Asean first”. While we are very much a trading bloc, we trade more with countries outside of Asean compared within Asean. Amirudin suggested beginning with the nearest and clearest threats, which are food security, climate change and creation of higher-paying jobs.
