  "account": "Former Prime Minister Khairy Jamaluddin emphasized during a recent \"Class in a Minute\" discussion in Ampang that artificial intelligence (AI) should serve as a helper in developing children's skills and not replace critical thinking processes. As the co-founder of AI-driven learning platform Kelas Sekejap, Jamaluddin stressed that AI can assist children in building skills and should not be used as a shortcut to obtain answers through reading, discussion, or thought.\n\nJamaluddin urged parents to pay attention to the purpose behind the technology's use. He explained that AI should function as a co-pilot, not a pilot, ensuring children remain the passengers. The former Prime Minister and former Deputy Prime Minister Shahril Hamdan, along with co-founder Isaac Tan, launched Kelas Sekejap in January 2026 as an English language learning application, which is now used in schools as an auxiliary tool to classroom learning.\n\nEmploying a \"learn by talking\" approach, Kelas Sekejap allows users to converse with AI tutors tailored to their level, interests, and goals. Beyond career skills such as team management, salary negotiations, and handling difficult conversations at work, the platform now plans to expand its language offerings to Malay, Mandarin, and financial literacy, while further developing its use for workforce training through Kelas Sekejap for Enterprise.",
