I-Berhad, a Malaysia-based property developer, announced Thursday the successful opening of the AI World Experience Center at i-City, marking the first physical public activation of AI World, Malaysia’s first artificial intelligence (AI) enabled urban precinct.
The firm said in a statement that The AI World Experience Center is a large-scale immersive showcase of AI and humanoid robotics, offering visitors first-hand exposure to how AI will be embedded across future residential, commercial, wellness, and lifestyle environments within i-City.
Developed in collaboration with AGIBOT, one of the world’s leading humanoid robotics companies, the center features 100 humanoid robots.
“AI can feel distant to many people, Robotics changes that. When people can see intelligence in motion and interact with it directly, AI becomes easier to understand, less intimidating, and far more engaging,” said Eu Hong Chew, Director of I-Berhad.
The Experience Center reflects the firm’s broader strategy of integrating technology into everyday urban living, ranging from smart facilities management and hospitality services to wellness support and intelligent environments, reinforcing i-City’s positioning as a technology-led township.
“Rather than traditional classroom-based learning, the Experience Centre emphasizes experiential discovery, helping visitors develop curiosity, critical thinking, and an understanding of how AI and robotics will shape future careers and industries,” Eu added.
The opening of the AI World Experience Center represents the first tangible milestone in the rollout of AI World, which forms a core component of I-Berhad’s approximately MYR 5 billion ($1.22 billion) remaining gross development value (GDV) within i-City.
The broader AI World precinct is envisioned to integrate AI-centric commercial, residential, and wellness concepts, supporting the group’s long-term transition from a traditional property developer into a technology-enabled urban platform, said the statement.
