KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Malaysia’s government did not develop, coordinate or endorse an artificial intelligence project involving a local company and Huawei Technologies, its trade ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement followed media reports that a Malaysian company, Skyvast Corporation, would deploy Huawei chips for the project.
The ministry said it wanted “to clarify that the said initiative was not developed, endorsed, or coordinated by the Government of Malaysia, nor does it form part of any Government-to-Government agreement or nationally mandated technology programme.”
