KUCHING: Women need to have digital literacy with technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and be aware of the risks they pose, says Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.
The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said that women must be aware of emerging challenges, including the use of AI and the growing threat of online scams.
Speaking at a women’s empowerment programme on Saturday (May 10) in her Santubong parliamentary constituency, Nancy said that many female entrepreneurs are now vulnerable to sophisticated online scammers who exploit AI and digital platforms to deceive victims.
"We must increase digital awareness so that we are not just tech-savvy but also wise in assessing potential risks,” she added.
Beyond safety, Nancy also encouraged women to be bold in pursuing business opportunities while being mindful of risks.
"Not every investment yields immediate returns, but with the right knowledge and networks, it can open doors to long-term success,” she added. - Bernama
