MIRI (Aug 11): The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy Programme 2025, held at Kompleks Islam Sarawak here yesterday, concluded on a high note with over 60 participants in attendance. The one-day event was jointly organised by the Sarawak United National Youth Organisation (Saberkas) Pujut branch in collaboration with the Saberkas Science, Technology and Innovation Subcommittee. Being the first AI literacy initiative of its kind, the programme featured presentations of five working papers. The event was officially closed by Miri mayor and Pujut assemblyman Adam Yii, who represented Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts and Saberkas president Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah. In his address, Yii emphasised the consequences of irresponsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) use among students, noting the increasing reliance on AI tools such as ChatGPT for completing assignments and examinations without genuine understanding. 'Success gained without effort is short-lived,' said Yii. 'If students simply copy and paste AI-generated answers without verifying them, they risk losing the critical thinking skills needed in the real world,' he cautioned. Yii stressed that AI should be used to enhance learning, not as a shortcut to bypass effort, warning that such habits could result in graduates lacking essential knowledge and skills. He also highlighted Sarawak's ambition to become a regional leader in AI adoption, including the establishment of the Sarawak AI Centre to spearhead initiatives across various sectors. 'Use AI for good, and deepen your knowledge so that we are not swayed by irresponsible use of technology,' he urged, calling on participants to share their knowledge with others in support of Sarawak's goal of embedding AI literacy in everyday life while avoiding misuse. adam yii artificial intelligence education lead students
