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

The portal, he said, would be expanded from the special segment Biar Betul! that is broadcast on RTM, as the segment – which is less than a minute long – was insufficient and needed to be revved up to deal with the issue, Bernama reported.
