AMPANG, Nov 12 — Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo today urged Malaysians to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) with confidence, saying they should learn to use it effectively while questioning its outputs.

Opening PEOPLElogy Berhad’s National AI Readiness Week 2026 (NAIRW 2026) at The Campus Ampang, Gobind said growing interest in AI must be matched by practical skills and human oversight of decisions affecting others.

“An answer can sound convincing and still be wrong. The ability to question it is part of being ready,” he said.

He urged organisers to ensure readiness assessments lead to suitable training and opportunities to practise, with progress measured by the skills participants develop.
