With AI World we are taking the next bold step to position i-City as Malaysia’s first AI & Robotics Experience Centre. Wyndham i-City will be a cornerstone of this transformation, offering guests a glimpse of how the future of hospitality and technology can seamlessly converge,” said i-Bhd chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong in a press statement on Sept 2.
