The Human Resource Ministry, known as Kesuma, is launching a study to assess how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will affect the Malaysian job market. Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong announced that the report will be completed by the end of September, aiming to understand job changes in various sectors over the next three to five years. This initiative is part of a broader effort to prepare workers for the evolving job landscape shaped by AI and digitalization.
The study will also guide the development of training programs to help workers acquire new skills relevant to emerging job roles created by AI advancements. An allocation of RM2.6 billion has been set aside for this initiative, emphasizing the government's commitment to enhancing human capital. Additionally, the recent passing of the Sabah Labour Ordinance aims to ensure fair treatment for workers in Sabah, further supporting the workforce in adapting to these changes.
