KUALA LUMPUR: The UK is committed to continue working with Malaysia in science, technology and industry to strengthen the economies of both nations, says British High Commissioner to Malaysia Ailsa Terry.
She said the long-standing collaboration between the UK and Malaysia in education, science, innovation and technology is a testament to their deep-rooted partnership.
“This UK-Malaysia Artificial Intelligence (AI) Conference 2023 serves as a significant step forward in our enduring alliance,” Terry said yesterday, delivered by British High Commission Kuala Lumpur Counsellor (Global Issues) Andrew Bowes.
Terry also expressed the UK’s commitment to taking a leadership role in ensuring the safe and responsible use of emerging technologies like AI.
Meanwhile, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang said the Malaysian government was finalising the guidelines for the development and deployment of AI, slated for release in early 2024.
Chang also encouraged government agencies, researchers and local companies to work collaboratively with their UK counterparts to establish international norms and standards for AI development and use as AI can also be a force for diplomacy and global cooperation. – Bernama
