PUTRAJAYA, March 6 (Bernama) -- Multimedia University (MMU) will establish the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence Engineering (FAIE) in mid-2025, transforming its current Faculty of Engineering (FOE) to strengthen AI-driven education and research.
MMU President and Chief Executive Officer, Prof Datuk Dr. Mazliham Mohd Suud, said the move is a strategic step to align the university’s programmes with global technological advancements and industry needs.
“AI is revolutionising every aspect of our lives, and we want our students to be at the heart of this transformation,” he said at MMU’s breaking of fast event with the media here today.
