In AI, Zetrix will develop specialized agentic AI models."From digital IDs to digitised customs clearance processing to large language models and stablecoins, the real-world cross-border use cases in blockchain and AI that we are deploying are aimed at catalysing disruptive transformation across ASEAN and enabling deeper socio-economic integration in the region," says TS Wong, group managing director of Zetrix AI in a company announcement. "With the participation and market access from IFC, we will accelerate our global expansion plans."The company’s first focus to that end will be building on its presence in the ASEAN region, which currently includes operations in Indonesia and the Philippines.Wong told Malaysia’s The Star that Zetrix also plans to bring its subsidiary AI Foundation Lab to the Nasdaq for public trading.Zetrix is issuing 119.5 million new shares to IFC under the agreement, according to the Star.Mimos’ spending on and management of Malaysia’s digital identity system is criticized in a recent Auditor-General’s Report.
