Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today announced an allocation of RM1 million to the Bernama Centre for Excellence to organise courses and training related to artificial intelligence (AI) for media practitioners.
He said this was in line with the call for the media fraternity to master the use of technology in carrying out their tasks.
“Bernama Centre for Excellence is asked to organise training, especially in AI technology for media practitioners,” he said at the highlight of the National Journalists’ Day 2024 (Hawana) celebration in Kuching.
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg and his deputies Ammar Douglas Uggah Embas and Dr Sim Kui Hian were present at the event along with Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier Department (Corporate Affairs, Information, and Sarawak Public Communication) Abdullah Saidol, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and his deputy Teo Nie Ching.
Also in attendance were Bernama chairman Wong Chun Wai, its chief executive officer Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, and editor-in-chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj.
The Bernama Centre for Excellence is responsible for providing training programmes for its staff as well as government agencies and corporate entities, in addition to managing applications from students of higher learning institutions to undergo industrial training within the organisation.
Hawana is the largest gathering of Malaysian media practitioners, and this year’s edition took place in Kuching, Sarawak, with the theme “Ethics as Foundation for Sustainable Journalism”.
May 29 has been gazetted as National Journalists’ Day, to celebrate the contributions of media practitioners.
