AI helped govt track stolen funds 75% faster, says deputy minister


KUALA LUMPUR: The use of artificial intelligence by the National Fraud Portal (NFP) has helped authorities track stolen funds 75% faster, says Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying

"NFP has succeeded in reducing the time to track funds by 75% to 30 mins which has led to an increase in 28% of such accounting being frozen," she said during minister's question time in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Oct 22).
