KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia must adopt artificial intelligence (AI) without forgoing human values and dignity, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“Can we avoid AI? No, we can’t, but it is our challenge, particularly for the national leadership, to ensure that the education (and the) inculcation of values (to tell) what is right (from) what is wrong, what is just (from) what is oppressive,” he said during a panel session at the 2025 Fortune Asean-GCC Economic Forum here on Wednesday (May 28).
Anwar said the government would resolve issues of digital sovereignty by putting the necessary legislation in place.
“I am determined to push as hard as possible, but I’m also aware that our understanding of our values and knowledge base cannot be dictated by one particular society or particular values,” he said.
This needs to be resolved through education and critical thinking, he added.
