Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia must continue to master new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. The statement was made in Putrajaya on 28 October.
According to him, the country needs to be prepared for technological changes that are taking place rapidly. These technologies are expected to have a major impact on the economy, education and the way of life of the people. Therefore, Malaysia needs to make use of the opportunities brought by these technologies.
