GYEONGJU: Digital transformation and the acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption were at the forefront of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting (AELM), as leaders deliberated on both challenges and opportunities with Malaysia cautioning member economies about the risks moving forward.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stressed that while APEC economies, including Malaysia, are aggressively pursuing development powered by digital transformation and AI, they must remain grounded and not lose sight of moral values and environmental responsibility, especially for future generations.
