00:00And now, even discussions about 6G.
00:04When we speak about infrastructure,
00:06we don't only talk about connectivity anymore.
00:09We speak about new technologies such as AI.
00:12Now, in order for us to have AI,
00:14and to see and feel the real impact of it,
00:17we need to understand the power of data.
00:21Data consists in many different forms.
00:24As you know, when we talk about data,
00:27the purposes of AI,
00:29you're talking about digitized data.
00:32But here we are in a country
00:35in which we have operated for many years,
00:37using systems which were largely analog.
00:40So a lot of the data is still in written form.
00:43It is still in audio form.
00:45It is still in visual form.
00:47Now, we need to look at how it is
00:49we can put together policies that will ensure
00:51that we're able to digitize the data that we have.
00:54Because if you don't digitize the data that you have,
00:57then it is not going to be able to be of any help
01:00when it comes to looking at AI and how AI works.
01:03I think this is something that all of us know.
01:06We speak about it.
01:07But the question is, what are you going to do about it?
01:10And more importantly,
01:12where is that agency in this country that's actually going to look into policies
01:17as to how it is we should get it done,
01:20formulate strategies with clear timelines
01:23so that we have clarity in terms of that policy,
01:26and subsequently execute those policies.
01:29Now, that was absent.
01:31And that's the reason why now we speak about a data commission.
01:34A data commission that will look at how it is data
01:38becomes the central feature of next generation technology
01:41which all of us need in order for us to partake
01:44in this new world of digital transformation.
01:47We have to understand that when you speak about data,
01:49you need to digitize data.
01:50Then you need to be able to use that data.
01:53In order to use that data, you need compute power.
01:56So in order to have compute power, you look at data centers.
01:59So policies around data commission, policies around data centers,
02:03these are conversations that are being held in the industry of digital.
02:06And I think if you look at the speech by the Prime Minister in Parliament
02:11when he tabled RMK 13,
02:13you can see that that is really a priority in RMK 13.
02:17It's about how it is we can pivot from doing things the old way
02:20to doing things using technology of today.
02:23And that will significantly empower us here in Malaysia.
02:26And we must prepare ourselves for it.
02:28Now, that is in respect of infrastructure.
02:31Now, you have infrastructure.
02:33You've got to make sure that people use the infrastructure.
02:35In order for people to use the infrastructure,
02:37you must convince them that it's secure.
02:39So this is where trust comes in.
02:41We are looking at not just policies.
02:43We are also looking at taking steps further.
02:45There's also regulatory processes that we have looked at.
02:49And ultimately, I think, as I said in my speech,
02:53a lot has been done, but there is still yet more to do.
02:58So a work in progress.
03:00So I can't see what I've been doing ...
03:01I think there's people in my life.
03:03I think there are ...
03:05It is not the other people,
03:07I think there's really hard to do ...
03:09I guess I'm probably more to do the same.
03:10So I can't see that ...
03:12I think there are still there.
03:13So I can't see that.
03:14It is really hard to do so.
03:16I think the way is that the Matt and brother
03:18that's doing is very hard to do so.
03:19I think there is a lot to do so.
