Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, MDEC announced a collaboration with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, DBKL and Alibaba Cloud to catalyst country's Artificial Intelligence (AI), ecosystem through the introduction of the Malaysia City Brain initiative. It's chief executive officer Datuk Yasmin Mahmood said through the first phase of the initiative, a traffic control system harnessing AI which able to make live traffic predictions and recommendations to increase traffic efficiency in the city centre will be set up. Powered by Alibaba Cloud’s large-scale computing engine Apsara, it will enable Malaysian urban planners and city officials to upgrade their city governance and decision-making to turn the city into an intelligent one. The AI system would also generate structured data summaries, which then could used to facilitate tasks such as incident detection. In addition, the smart city platform could connect with other urban management systems including emergency dispatch, ambulance call, traffic command, and traffic light control. The pilot phase which currently implemented in the central business district are covering 300 traffic lights and 500 CCTVs and scheduled to be completed by May this year.
