Malaysia Aims To Join Top 20 AI Innovators, Says PM Anwar
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for a united effort to position Malaysia among the top 20 countries in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In a speech delivered at the International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Computing, Engineering and Education Science (InvENT 2024) at Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam, Anwar emphasized the importance of collaboration among researchers, developers, and decision-makers to foster responsible and ethical AI development.
馬來西亞應該統一行動,力爭將自己的人工智能(AI)技術排名進前20名。安華在馬來西亞科技大學沙阿阿南國際創新與創業計算、工程和教育科學會議(InvENt 2024)上發表講話,強調需要研究者、開發者和決策者之間的協作合作,以促進負責任和道德的AI發展。
Anwar outlined the government's commitment to building a national AI ecosystem, which includes establishing a center of excellence for AI research and education. Additionally, Malaysia plans to develop its own AI cloud computing system, marking a significant step toward advancing the country's technological capabilities.
安華概述了政府建立國家人工智能生態系統的承諾,其中包括建立人工智能研究和教育卓越中心。此外,馬來西亞計劃開發自己的AI雲計算系統,這一重要舉措推進了該國的技術能力。
While highlighting the benefits of AI, such as improving quality of life, efficiency, and creativity, Anwar also warned of the potential risks. He pointed to the dangers of deep fake technology, which can undermine trust in digital content and distort public perception of reality. To address these risks, the government aims to minimize the negative impact of AI on society and ensure robust AI governance through effective policies and laws.
安華雖然強調了人工智能技術的好處,比如改善生活質量、效率和創造力,但他也警告了潛在的風險。他指出了深度僞造技術的危險,這可能破壞公衆對數字內容的信任和扭曲公衆對現實的認知。爲了解決這些風險,政府旨在通過有效的政策和法律最大程度地減少AI對社會的負面影響,並確保強有力的AI治理。
Anwar also touched on Malaysia's active role in shaping digital economy cooperation within ASEAN. He mentioned ongoing efforts, such as the Digital Economy Framework Agreement and the Cyber Security Bill 2024, which was introduced in March. Additionally, the Personal Data Protection Department is finalizing amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, alongside the development of a national data-sharing bill by the National Digital Department.
安華還談到了馬來西亞在推動東盟數字經濟合作方面的積極作用。他提到了正在進行的努力,如數字經濟框架協議和2024年網絡安全法案,後者於今年3月份提出。此外,個人數據保護部門正在修訂2010年個人數據保護法案,並由國家數字部門制定了一項國家數據共享法案。
The Prime Minister's speech, delivered on his behalf by Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapha Sakmud, underscores Malaysia's ambition to be a leader in AI innovation while maintaining a strong focus on ethical and responsible technology use.
