Menteri seru tenaga pengajar universiti renung cabaran AI

Education Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir has urged university faculty and researchers to reconsider their responsibility towards society in the age of artificial intelligence. Speaking at the 17th National Academy Awards Ceremony, Zambry told attendees that today's students no longer consider professors as their primary source of knowledge. He emphasized the need for students to develop critical thinking and communication skills, while also becoming good human beings.

Zambry stressed that the nation requires intellectually brave academics, academically honest individuals, and sensitivity towards major national issues. He called on academia and researchers to reassess their responsibilities towards society in the era of AI-driven progress. While earlier knowledge monopolies may have stemmed from specific understandings or the power of the question, AI is now the dominant force surrounding us.

The National Academy Awards have been given since 2006 to scholars currently or formerly employed in higher education institutions, based on their contributions to teaching, research, writing and publishing scholarly works, and cultural and intellectual transfer and development.
