Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim Launches PMX AI, an AI Avatar Accessible via WhatsApp

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has officially introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) avatar of himself to the public. This innovation aims to strengthen communication between the government and the public through digital platforms. Through the AI avatar, Anwar Ibrahim has opened an interactive service via WhatsApp. The public can ask various questions or convey aspirations to the digital version of the Prime Minister via the number +60378850523. The system will provide automatic and instant answers according to the questions asked. “I sincerely hope you can convey your views, concerns, and aspirations directly through this avatar. I believe that the nation will only become better if its development and policies are grounded in the voice and will of the People,” Anwar said in an official statement in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. The service is named PMX AI. The name refers to the nickname “PMX” attached to Anwar Ibrahim as Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister, combined with the acronym AI. The technology behind PMX AI was developed by the company Zetrix AI. This avatar does not merely provide random answers but has been “trained” using a comprehensive database. In addition to being a channel for aspirations, PMX AI is designed to help Malaysian citizens access government information more easily. The service also provides guidance related to the education sector, career development, and job vacancy information. Based on checks on Sunday evening, the WhatsApp-based service experienced temporary technical difficulties and could not be accessed, likely due to high user traffic during its initial launch.
