  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - Genting Malaysia Bhd and Alibaba Cloud (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd have signed an MoU to explore the use of AI and cloud computing across Genting's operations. The agreement aims to assess potential applications in employee productivity, operational efficiency, and guest experience. Genting Malaysia's deputy CEO, Datuk Indera Lim Keong Hui, stated that the MoU will enable the group to evaluate the benefits of AI and cloud technology before considering wider adoption. The agreement follows a previous collaboration involving Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, where both companies explored AI and cloud technology to enhance guest experience. Alibaba Cloud Malaysia's general manager, Choong Hon Keat, said the companies will assess further applications across Genting's various business functions, building upon their earlier collaboration. The agreement was signed at Alibaba Group's headquarters in Hangzhou, China, but neither party is committed to a specific deployment. Both companies will evaluate the suitability of potential use cases for Genting's operations before deciding on wider implementation.",
