OVERVIEW
Empowering Malaysia with Open Source AI
AI is advancing rapidly — but for governments and public institutions, adoption without control introduces real risk.
From data sovereignty and regulatory compliance to transparency and auditability, organisations must ensure AI is deployed responsibly, securely, and with full governance oversight.
Join us for an exclusive session where we will examine how enterprise open source drives innovation and sovereignty - bringing compliance, security and governance to your AI platform and your innovative initiatives.
You will gain insight into how Red Hat OpenShift provides the secure, scalable foundation required for AI workloads in regulated environments. Beyond containers, OpenShift delivers isolation, access control, auditability, and operational consistency — making it the platform trusted by highly regulated industries and positioning it as the control plane for AI.
Building on this foundation, Red Hat OpenShift AI enables organisations to move from experimentation to production grade deployment, helping them operationalise their AI initiatives. Discover how institutions can run private AI environments, govern models and data in a controlled platform.
We will also share practical guidance on moving from AI exploration to adoption through controlled pilots, phased rollouts, and flexible deployment models including on-premise, hybrid, and air-gapped environments. The session concludes with an open discussion addressing key concerns around security, ethics, cost, and skills readiness.
