In parallel with the launch of the National Artificial Intelligence Office, the government through the Minister of Digital also announced the launch of the Rakyat Digital program. Rakyat Digital is a continuation of the introduction of the previous “AI Untuk Rakyat” program, which has been participated by more than 1 million local citizens in learning the basics of artificial intelligence or AI.
This introduction is seen as the government’s effort to position various learning related to digital knowledge on a one-stop site. Meanwhile, the ai.gov.my domain used for the “AI Untuk Rakyat” program is now used by the National Artificial Intelligence Office.
Through the Rakyat Digital site, users can follow three basic learning courses, namely “CyberSAFE untuk Rakyat” focusing on knowledge related to digital risks and security, “Generative AI” focusing on learning related to generative artificial intelligence, and also the “AI Untuk Rakyat” program to gain basic knowledge related to artificial intelligence.
It was also shown that soon the “Data Untuk Rakyat” course will be offered under Rakyat Digital, focusing on knowing how to use and understand data in daily life.
All these courses are offered for free, and certificates are also provided upon successful completion of a course. Users can register to participate using their Google account or email on the Rakyat Digital website.
