  "account": "The Selangor government plans to introduce an Artificial Intelligence (AI) White Paper in early 2023. The document will outline a framework for the responsible use of AI technology within the state administration and among the public, aiming to ensure that citizens remain able to think, interact, act, and adapt to AI effectively. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari emphasized the need to prevent over-reliance on AI while promoting digital literacy and critical thinking skills. Amirudin also revealed plans to provide 50,000 free AI access slots through a partnership with the Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre (STDC), with the content regulated and managed by the Centre. This initiative will be incorporated into the curriculum as per the Selangor Budget 2027 and promoted as part of the country's educational sector advancements. The framework's applicability extends to crisis management and disaster scenarios such as haze and floods, where AI could assist in maintaining online learning during such events. Prior to the announcement, Amirudin officiated the 2026 National Digital Education Carnival, where 30 booths showcased initiatives by the Education Department, government agencies, and strategic partners.",
