Anwar: Malaysia must embrace AI, quantum technology without losing cultural roots

Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the importance of embracing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing while preserving the country's religious and cultural identity. In his speech at the 'Majlis Ilmu Madani' program, Anwar stressed that technological advancement should be anchored in religious faith, moral values, culture, and literature.

He highlighted the need to strengthen the culture of seeking knowledge to avoid tensions arising from individuals passing judgment without sufficient knowledge or careful consideration. The government will continue to strengthen religious education institutions and organize forums for informed discussions on these matters.
