KOTA KINABALU: On July 30, 2024, the Sabah Lands and Surveys Department proudly unveiled their latest innovation, “SMART Geo Sabah” that integrates Generative-AI with advanced geospatial technologies to allow users to find and locate land information through conversational interactions in either Malay, English, or Chinese.

This makes Sabah the first state government in Malaysia to harness such advanced technology, setting a new standard for digital innovation in public services.

With SMART Geo Sabah, the goal is to consolidate all land information, intelligence, and insights into a single, accessible platform.

The integration of Generative-AI with geospatial technology in SMART Geo Sabah is a
groundbreaking achievement. This initiative is designed to simplify the process for
everyone—whether it’s the government agencies, businesses, or people in the street—to
find and utilise the data they need more efficiently. SMART Geo Sabah is poised to become
an indispensable tool that bridges the gap between technology and land management,
fostering a more connected and informed community in Sabah.

The development of SMART Geo Sabah is a testament to the Sabah Lands and Surveys
Department’s commitment to innovation and excellence. The beta version of SMART Geo
Sabah is currently available within the Department for pre-release testing and fine-tuning.
The final release of SMART Geo Sabah for the general public is planned for mid-2025.-pr/BNN
