  "account": "Minister of Higher Education Zambry Abdul Kadir called on university academics and researchers to pause and reconsider their responsibilities to society in the age of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the 17th National Academic Awards ceremony, Zambry informed attendees that today's students no longer regard professors as their primary source of knowledge. He urged everyone to reflect on the challenges we face and strive to produce students with strong thinking and communication skills, while also cultivating them to be good human beings. He emphasized that the nation needs intellectually courageous scholars, academically honest individuals, and those who are sensitive to the major issues facing the country. Zambry called for academics and researchers to reassess their responsibilities to society in the era of AI, as the concept of power now surrounds us rather than being a distant concern. The National Academic Awards, first introduced in 2006, are given to scholars actively or formerly involved in higher education institutions, based on their contributions in teaching, research, writing and publishing scholarly work, and the dissemination and development of knowledge.",
