Aim for a synergy of AI tech and human values

ARTIFICIAL Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant future concept, it is shaping the way we learn, teach and work right now. In Malaysia, amidst technological advances, the Education Ministry policy calls for teachers to uphold karamah insaniah or human dignity, and its core Digital Education Policy principles, ensuring that our education system nurtures well-rounded individuals.

AI is a tool, not a replacement for teachers. Educators must be at the forefront of integrating AI into the classroom, leveraging tools like intelligent tutoring systems and automated assessments to personalise learning. Programmes such as the Digital Education Competency Enhancement for Educators empower teachers with digital literacy and critical thinking skills.
