Govt to set up portal to help combat scams, defamation, says Fahmi


PUTRAJAYA: A portal that utilises artificial intelligence (AI) will be created to help people verify the information they receive, repel defamatory news and fight fraud or scams, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications Minister said the portal was expanded from the special segment "Biar Betul!" which was broadcast on RTM channels as the segment, which was less than a minute long, was insufficient and needed to be sped up to deal with the issue.
