“Tech Without Morals Is Dangerous”: Anwar Sounds Alarm on AI Risks

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has cautioned that technological advancement must be guided by strong ethical values to ensure it benefits society rather than creating harm or instability.

He highlighted risks associated with artificial intelligence and digital systems, noting that rapid, unchecked progress could lead to misuse or unintended consequences. Without proper governance frameworks, technology may widen inequality or create new challenges that society is not fully prepared to manage effectively in both economic and social contexts.

Anwar urged policymakers, businesses, and educators to collaborate in embedding ethics into innovation strategies. Responsible development will be key to sustainable progress. Observers say the message reflects global concerns over technology governance and reinforces Malaysia’s commitment to balancing innovation with moral responsibility while ensuring long-term benefits for society and economic stability across sectors.
