Anwar Ibrahim Introduces AI-Powered Avatar of Himself

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI)-based avatar of himself to the public. Through this AI avatar, Anwar Ibrahim has opened a service via WhatsApp, where the public can ask anything to his AI version through the number +60378850523. Answers will be provided automatically in response to the questions asked. “I sincerely hope you can convey your views, concerns, and aspirations directly through this avatar. I believe that a nation can only improve if its development and policies are grounded in the voice and will of the people,” Anwar said in a statement. The service is named PMX AI. PMX is the moniker given to Anwar Ibrahim as Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister, while AI stands for artificial intelligence. The PMX AI avatar was developed by the company Zetrix AI. It has been trained on Anwar Ibrahim’s speeches and writings, as well as government policies, and will be continuously updated with his latest speeches. The PMX AI avatar is designed to help the Malaysian public access or ask about government information, as well as provide guidance on education, careers, and employment. Based on observations, the WhatsApp-based service was temporarily unavailable on Sunday evening.
