Malaysia and Zetrix AI Partner for Shariah-Compliant AI
Imagine a computer program, like a smart helper, but it follows Islamic rules, called Shariah.
Zetrix AI, a company in Malaysia, and the Malaysian government are teaming up to make sure these programs are trustworthy and safe.
They want to set the rules for these kinds of programs around the world.
They will work with JAKIM, which is like the official Islamic rules checker in Malaysia.
The goal is to use these programs for things like Islamic finance, education, and keeping information secure.
They aim to make sure these programs use values that match Muslim ethics.
It is expected that the initiative will promote a digital economy worth billions.
Zetrix AI and the Malaysian government signed a Letter of Intent to establish global standards for Shariah-compliant AI.
The collaboration involves Zetrix AI’s NurAI and JAKIM.
JAKIM will guide certification and ethical standards.
The initiative aims to make Malaysia a global leader in ethical AI.
The project aligns with Malaysia's halal and digitalization agendas.
