Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics Byline - Malaysia’s Next Digital Chapter Byline: Embracing the Age of Agentic AI


Malaysia is standing at a defining moment in its digital journey. Across industries, classrooms, and homes, artificial intelligence is no longer seen as a distant innovation. Instead, it is becoming an everyday tool that helps Malaysians work smarter, communicate more effectively, and express their creativity in new ways.
This shift reflects something deeper than the adoption of new technology. It signals a shift to embrace intelligent systems that anticipate needs, understand context, and support people in navigating an increasingly fast-moving world.

The response to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S26 Series reflects this momentum. With strong global demand and more than 1.3 million pre-orders for the Galaxy S26 Series, it is clear that consumers are increasingly looking for devices that go beyond performance, they want technology that works intelligently alongside them.

At Samsung, we believe we are entering the Agentic AI era, where AI evolves beyond simply responding to prompts and begins to actively assist users in meaningful ways. With the Galaxy S26 Series, Galaxy AI is designed to reduce friction in everyday experiences, allowing people to focus on what matters most.

Innovations such as Now Nudge, alongside experiences like Now Brief and Now Bar, move Galaxy AI closer to becoming a true AI companion. Rather than functioning as a collection of tools, Galaxy AI is evolving into an intelligent system that understands context, learns routines, and surfaces relevant information at the right moment. The goal is simple: to make technology feel more intuitive, helpful, and seamlessly integrated into daily life.

For Malaysians, this evolution is especially meaningful. As a digital nation that thrives on connectivity, collaboration, and entrepreneurship, AI has the potential to empower individuals and communities alike. From students exploring new ways to learn, to creators expressing ideas more freely, to professionals navigating increasingly digital workplaces, AI can unlock new opportunities for growth.

What we are witnessing today is not just technological progress, it is the emergence of a new digital culture where intelligence is embedded into the devices, we use every day.

As AI becomes more predictive and autonomous, the responsibility to develop it thoughtfully becomes even more important. At Samsung, we believe AI must always remain human-centric, secure, and ethical. Technology should empower people, while respecting their privacy, choices, and control.

Malaysia’s openness to innovation has always been one of its greatest strengths. As we move further into the AI era, Samsung will emulate this spirit to shape how technology is adopted, adapted, and ultimately used to improve lives.

The future of AI will not simply be defined by what technology can do, but by how it helps people realise their full potential. To learn more about Galaxy AI, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/my/galaxy-ai/.
