Are Malaysians excited or anxious about AI’s growing influence? Are they worried about losing their jobs to AI?

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we sit down with Arun Menon, Managing Director at Ipsos Malaysia, to unpack their latest study, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Monitor. This report reveals that while 6 out of 10 Malaysians believe they have a good understanding of AI, there’s a mixed sentiment of excitement and concern about its potential impact—especially regarding job displacement.

Arun breaks down how these perceptions compare globally, particularly with the higher enthusiasm seen across Asia versus the caution in Europe and the Anglosphere. We also explore the need for AI regulations, the push for upskilling, and how businesses, individuals, and policymakers in Malaysia must prepare for the rapid evolution of generative AI technologies.
