The Malaysian Communications Ministry has launched the Sebenarnya.my Chatbot, also known as the Artificial Intelligence Fact-check Assistant (AIFA), to tackle the rampant spread of fake news and misinformation. This initiative is particularly beneficial for senior citizens who frequently receive misleading messages via platforms like WhatsApp. The chatbot aims to enhance media literacy among Malaysians, who often fall victim to scams due to a lack of digital literacy.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil emphasized the importance of this tool in verifying information and addressing the financial losses caused by fraud, which amounted to RM54.4 billion in 2024. The AIFA will provide users with easy access to a database of fraud cases and facts, promoting awareness and encouraging the public to fact-check information. This initiative is a significant step towards improving the overall information ecosystem in Malaysia.
