Malaysia has set a target to achieve an additional 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points in annual GDP growth from artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030, according to the National AI Action Plan 2026–2030, or AI Nation 2030. This projected growth is equivalent to an additional RM13 to RM20 billion in annual economic output and could create up to 500,000 AI-related jobs.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil highlighted that the targets reflect Malaysia's ambition to move beyond building digital infrastructure and become a country where AI is developed, deployed, and applied across the economy, enabling more Malaysian businesses to adopt and develop AI technologies.
