Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 16 January 2023 – The Centre for AI Innovation (CEAI) is proud to announce its official launch in partnership with Emaan Foundation Cambodia and impact measurement partner, Sofinaa. The CEAI aims to encourage professionals, policy makers, volunteers and students who are not trained in AI and Machine learning to learn about the applications of AI and to create solutions on a no-code, low-code platform with their domain specialization.

“The CEAI is a game changer for Cambodia,” said Prof M Nazri, Founder and Chairman of Centre for AI Innovation (CEAI), Global. “By providing access to AI education and resources, we are empowering individuals and organizations to drive innovation and progress in the country.”

The CEAI is committed to promoting inclusivity in learning the practical applications of AI as part of social innovation, with the goal of ensuring that 95% of people in Cambodia can access knowledge, understanding and applications of AI through the Centre. “The CEAI will bridge the gap in AI education and provide opportunities for all Cambodians to participate in the digital economy,” said Mr Sales Salas, Director of Emaan Foundation Cambodia.

The CEAI will also organize virtual and physical events, including networking, workshops, dialogues, and topics based on current and future issues faced by Cambodia in order to develop solutions and roadmaps to address them.

The formation of the CEAI is a crucial step towards making Cambodia ready for Industry 4.0 and for empowering its people to work well with technology and drive the country’s future. With the gradual adoption of AI in Cambodia, industries will be able to achieve higher productivity and efficiency. The CEAI will also provide expertise and access to international advisors through the Centre, which will be an invaluable asset for Cambodia.

“The Centre for AI Innovation (CEAI) in Cambodia, in partnership with Singapore, will be a game-changer for Cambodian decision makers in planning for the future of the country. 

With the transfer of knowledge and global best practices from Singapore, CEAI will provide the necessary tools, expertise and resources for Cambodian leaders to make data-driven decisions that will drive economic growth, improve infrastructure and strengthen healthcare. 

CEAI will also provide an opportunity to learn from Singapore’s successful AI initiatives, and apply these global best practices to address the specific needs of Cambodia. 

This collaboration between Singapore and Cambodia will help Cambodia to leapfrog into the digital age and build a better future for all its citizens,” said Lok Oknha Lim Bunsour, Chairman for CEAI @ Cambodia and Chairman, AZ Group of Companies.

We look forward to working with our partners and stakeholders to build a better future for Cambodia through the power of AI.
