- Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has introduced PMX.AI, an AI clone with his appearance and voice, allowing citizens to chat directly via WhatsApp.
- In the launch video, Anwar appeared in various personas, such as an astronaut, a superhero, and a younger version of himself, calling it a new step forward in national communication.
- PMX.AI is introduced as a “digital extension” of the Prime Minister, tasked with listening to citizens’ opinions, supporting exchanges, and promoting policy discussions.
- According to Zetrix AI, the system developer, the AI was trained on Anwar’s speeches, writings, and policies to reflect his views and style.
- The company stated that the AI Agent can listen to voter feedback, collect social opinions, and assist citizens in accessing public services.
- Zetrix AI expects other politicians to build AI clones to connect with voters, potentially supporting job registration, training programs, or driver’s license renewals.
- The system utilizes the Personal Knowledge Model (PKM), allowing the AI to learn from an individual’s knowledge, perspectives, and interests to create a highly personalized digital twin.
- The company noted that the AI can perform certain actions, such as negotiating or confirming transactions within limits set by the user, with all operations verified by blockchain and digital identity.
- To reduce AI hallucinations, the PKM serves as a verification layer, ensuring responses align with the user’s data and intent, while personal data is encrypted and protected.
- The article also recalls the trend of leaders using AI in politics, such as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung using AI in his campaign and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi using AI to deliver speeches in multiple languages.
📌 Malaysia is testing a new application for AI Agents in governance and citizen interaction. PMX.AI is built as a digital twin of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, capable of chatting, supporting public services, and collecting voter opinions via WhatsApp. With a PKM foundation combined with blockchain and digital identity, the project reflects a trend where AI does not just answer questions but represents humans in performing tasks within authorized limits.
