  "account": "Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim has called for an ethical approach to artificial intelligence (AI) and a more open, rule-based digital trade regime to ensure that nations can benefit from technological advancements. Speaking at the Global Digital Trade Expo Fifth (GDTE), he acknowledged China's progress in visual computing and AI, and their willingness to share technological advancements with South Global nations. \"China's leadership and readiness to consistently contribute meaningful significance to globalization are truly remarkable,\" he stated. The five-day expo, held at Hangzhou Convention and Exhibition Center, was opened by Chinese Premier Li Qiang, and serves as a major digital economy platform for China, highlighting AI and global cooperation. Malaysia's AI objectives are clear, according to Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister - increasing productivity, assisting small businesses in competing, and ensuring Malaysians reap the benefits of technological change, rather than merely experiencing its impact. \"The principle remains the same, whether we control AI or AI controls us,\" he warned, urging the establishment of an ethics-based framework to ensure that innovation and technological advancement benefit humanity. He emphasized that this issue touches on the perennial problem of the widening gap between developed and developing nations, particularly as countries pursue rapid technological progress amidst enduring socio-economic disparities. \"Rapid growth in AI, for example, might be the aspiration of most countries, but what real benefit will humanity gain if such development only widens the gap between wealthy and developing nations, advanced and emerging economies?\" he asked. This is not a manufactured or exaggerated concern, but a deep-rooted worry about the welfare of communities, nations, and the region. \"The question is whether this technology will give the building nation more space to determine its own future or leave them dependent on technology developed elsewhere,\" he concluded. Anwar's three-day work visit to Shanghai and Hangzhou concluded today, with China remaining Malaysia's largest trading partner for the 17th consecutive year, with bilateral trade reaching $113.82 billion (RM456.68 billion) from January to August this year.",
