We are pleased to announce that Aras Integrasi Sdn. Bhd. has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation Sabah (KPSTI), launching Sabah's first homegrown, sovereign AI ecosystem built for every student and educator in the state. The MOU was signed by YB Datuk Hassan bin Mahali, Permanent Secretary of KPSTI and Mr Effie Rizal, Chief Business Officer of Aras Integrasi, witnessed by YB Datuk James bin Ratib, State Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation of Sabah and YM Tengku Ahmad Firhan Shah Bin Tengku Abdul Rahman, Director of Aras Integrasi.
Anchored by the jointly developed Sabah Sovereign AI Roadmap, this partnership is built on four pillars namely Education as Multiplier, Sovereign AI Governance, Human-First Readiness, and Disciplined Ex*****on.
Built to leave no one behind, the initiative delivers offline AI for rural and remote schools, a multilingual platform spanning BM, English, Mandarin and Sabah's indigenous dialects. This is what sovereign AI looks like. Built here. Built right.
