In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, where AI plays a pivotal role, navigating through disinformation and fake news can feel quite challenging. These technologies have the remarkable ability to influence perspectives, distort our everyday dialogue, and even subtly sway our decisions and beliefs.

As AI continues to weave itself into the lives of Malaysians and their communities, it raises important questions: where do we draw the line? Who takes responsibility for ensuring accuracy? How do we differentiate between fact and manipulation?
