KUCHING, Nov 12: Sarawak’s Malay heritage must not be left to fade with time, and the community is being urged to harness artificial intelligence (AI) to preserve its cultural treasures for future generations.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said AI could help preserve Malay heritage through the digitisation of old manuscripts, recordings of oral histories and the creation of digital archives.
“This approach will enable Sarawak’s Malay cultural treasures to be preserved and accessed by future generations,” he said during the opening of Wisma Melayu Sarawak at Jalan Diplomatik last night (Nov 11).
Abang Johari said the Malay community possessed a rich heritage encompassing language, customs and traditions, literature, performing arts, traditional attire and cuisine.
