Malaysia and UAE's Presight deepen digital ties with groundbreaking AI partnership
Kuala Lumpur — Malaysia Madani Artificial Intelligence, a wholly owned entity of the Malaysian Government, and Presight, a UAE-based leading global AI and big data analytics company, announced a landmark agreement set to accelerate Malaysia's digital transformation. This collaboration will harness advanced AI and sovereign cloud infrastructure to strengthen national security, enhance government efficiency, and drive data-powered governance.
The agreement, formally exchanged at the ASEAN-GCC Economic Forum 2025, marks a pivotal advancement in AI collaboration between the UAE and Malaysia, and is Presight's first major initiative in the Southeast Asia region. The exchange of agreements was conducted in the presence of His Excellency Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, His Excellency Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Minister of Home Affairs of Malaysia, and Peng Xiao, Group CEO of G42.
The partnership will see the two entities collaborate on a range of critical initiatives including the development of sovereign cloud infrastructure, AI solutions and applications for digital transformation across national safety, public security, and government efficiency.
'This partnership is uniquely strengthened by the UAE's proactive and pioneering efforts in artificial intelligence. Having embarked on its AI journey early, the UAE has made significant strides in both the practical application of AI technologies and the development of comprehensive governance frameworks. This rich experience, embodied by Presight, offers an invaluable foundation for Malaysia's own AI ambitions,' said His Excellency Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Minister of Home Affairs of Malaysia.
'The UAE's journey in AI, marked by its progressive policies and robust implementation, provides a powerful precedent. Through this partnership with Presight, Malaysia gains access to world-class expertise that will propel our nation forward, aligning perfectly with our Malaysia Madani vision for a technologically advanced and digitally sovereign future.
'This collaboration not only boosts Malaysia's domestic resilience but also reinforces the strong bilateral relationship between Malaysia and the UAE, positioning both nations as pivotal contributors to the evolving global AI applications ecosystem.'
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, said: 'This agreement exemplifies our commitment to using Applied AI to create tangible national impact. By partnering with MMAI, we are not only accelerating Malaysia's journey towards becoming a digitally advanced, AI-enabled economy, but also laying the foundation for long-term innovation, efficiency, and resilience across critical sectors.
'From secure data infrastructure to enhanced AI and analytics for key Malaysian agencies, we're pleased to bring cutting-edge solutions that drive real progress. This collaboration reflects our shared belief that technology, when used responsibly and strategically, can be a catalyst for transformative change.
'We commend the leadership of Malaysia for their vision to enable economic growth through strategic investment in AI nation-building projects.'
Advancing Shared National Priorities through AI
The Presight and MMAI agreement reinforces the strategic objectives of Malaysia's MADANI economic framework, launched by His Excellency Anwar Ibrahim in July 2023. The initiative seeks to elevate Malaysia's economic standing by promoting sustainable development, fair wealth distribution, and robust investment in innovation. MMAI serves as the AI cornerstone in the nation's pursuit of these goals.
Today's announcement follows an MoU signed in Abu Dhabi on 13 January 2025, witnessed by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, and His Excellency Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia. The MoU outlined a shared commitment to invest in AI-driven capabilities designed to improve national safety, public security, and government efficiency.
This collaboration also builds on the momentum generated by the UAE-Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), confirmed in October 2024. Bilateral non-oil trade between the two countries reached US$2.5 billion in the first half of 2024, a 7% year-on-year increase, highlighting the strength and growing depth of this relationship.
Presight Reinforces Thought Leadership on AI at ASEAN-GCC Forum
Alongside the exchange of agreements, CEO Thomas Pramotedham took part in a panel discussion at the ASEAN-GCC Economic Forum, titled: AI Impact Across Industries, where he shared insights on how AI is transforming sectors around the world and driving meaningful, real-world outcomes.

7awi Media Group: Code of Conduct for AI-Generated Content
At 7awi Media Group, we believe in the power of storytelling and embrace technology that helps us tell those stories more effectively. As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape the world of content, we see it not as a replacement but as a tool that supports our creativity, enhances our workflows, and allows us to serve our audiences more efficiently. That said, there are lines we won't cross. This AI Code of Conduct reflects our commitment to quality, credibility, and editorial responsibility across all 7awi platforms—whether in fashion and beauty, wellness, automotive, or lifestyle. It's our promise to our readers, our partners, and ourselves that no matter the tool, integrity comes first. 1. Truth First: Accuracy & Credibility No medical, scientific, or technical content is published without verifying it through reliable, recognized sources. Sensitive topics must be reviewed by qualified human experts. AI may assist, but never replace, human judgment in validating facts. 2. We're Transparent With Our Readers If AI helped shape a piece of content, we'll say so—especially when it matters. Misleading our audience by passing AI-generated material as fully human-written is off-limits. 3. Editorial Voice Matters Every piece must reflect the unique tone and editorial spirit of the 7awi platform it appears on. Awkward language, repetition, or robotic phrasing? Not acceptable. Disrespectful, biased, or discriminatory content—AI or not—has no place here. 4. Respect Intellectual Property We do not publish plagiarized material. Period. AI content is subject to the same copyright standards as any other. Quoting studies or reports? Sources must always be credited. 5. Originality Is Non-Negotiable Copy-pasting AI text with no added value is lazy, and it won't fly here. Our headlines must inform, not mislead. We don't do clickbait. 6. Every AI-Assisted Article Gets Human Eyes Nothing generated by AI goes live without a thorough editorial review. Our editors are trained to spot issues, elevate quality, and ensure every story meets our standards. 7. Privacy is Personal We never use real personal data in AI-generated content without explicit consent. Fictionalized content must never blur the line between reality and make-believe when it involves real individuals or organizations. 8. We Evolve With the Technology This Code isn't static. As AI tools evolve, so will our practices. Our content teams remain accountable for applying this policy, consistently and thoughtfully. 9. Empowering Our Teams We invest in training so our editors and writers understand AI's strengths—and its limitations. AI is a support system, not a shortcut. We use it to enhance quality, never to compromise it. 10. A Note on Accountability We're not perfect—and neither is AI. Mistakes will happen. But at 7awi, we own them. We're committed to correcting errors transparently and learning as we go. This is a journey, and we're here for it—with honesty, humility, and an unwavering focus on earning our audience's trust. At 7awi, we celebrate innovation, but never at the cost of trust. This Code is more than a set of rules—it's part of our editorial DNA. Let's use technology the right way. With integrity. With purpose. With people at the center of it all.
