Developing artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and fostering a degree of familiarity with the technology among the people has taken centre stage in Malaysia with the launch of the “AI for Rakyat” programme.
Launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, this initiative is the outcome of a collaborative effort between the Economic Ministry and giant chipmaker Intel. Available in four languages – Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin and Tamil – it comprises two main modules that can be completed within four hours.
