SEREMBAN, May 21 — The Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) will expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in processing building plans, said JBPM deputy director-general (development) Othman Abdullah.
He said the JBPM has implemented an AI pilot project at the Kulim Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) in Kedah and the Kulai BBP in Johor.
“We are moving in that direction (AI usage). The pilot project currently applies to buildings of three or four storeys only. In the future, we will focus on larger-scale developments. The advantage of using AI is that it is faster, more efficient, and maintains integrity.
“With this AI system, all submissions are entered digitally into specific profiles. When a building plan is uploaded into the system, it will automatically process the details and identify whether they comply with regulations. Previously, we had to examine them manually, one by one,” he told reporters here today.
He was speaking at the opening ceremony of the Negeri Sembilan JBPM Industry Lead Body Seminar.
Othman said the pilot project has enabled the issuance of the Certificate of Completion and Compliance to be completed in a day, compared with 14 days manually.
