00:00Artificial intelligence is everywhere.

00:04It's in the cars we drive, the phones we use, and the homes we live in.

00:08However, while most of us seem to have accepted that AI will play a role in our daily lives,

00:14experts are warning against relying too heavily on the technology in government operations.

00:20For one, Rafael Dar, the European Union ambassador to Malaysia,

00:24calls for a more balanced and human-centered approach in the governance of AI.

00:29I think artificial intelligence is going to have far-reaching consequences on our future.

00:37In that sense, it's crucial to find the appropriate balance

00:44between ensuring a form of regulation or governance framework

00:50that maintains the maximum space for innovation on the one hand

00:55and on the other hand, to make it as human-centered as possible

01:00and to protect certain basic principles.

01:02I would say that ASEAN and the EU are also here like-minded

01:07in the sense that they place the human at the very center

01:11and they also are forward-looking in terms of wanting to be innovative.

01:15Cross-border cybercrime involving AI is another rising concern across ASEAN nations

01:21with criminal syndicates leveraging advanced technologies

01:24to conduct large-scale fraud and scams.

01:27This issue has been further exacerbated by the rise of the fakes,

01:31voice cloning and generative AI technologies.

01:35Du Sip Manapan, an advisor to Thailand's foreign minister,

01:38told FMT that criminals along the Myanmar border

01:41might be using high-tech tools to counter their surveillance measures.

01:46The people over there, they have a very high-tech technology

01:50to jam over, you know, our drone, you know.

01:54And I think they have the ability to, they have the resources

01:58and the ability to procure some high-tech technology, you know,

02:03high-tech technology equipment.

02:05This is the business that makes a lot of money for them.

02:12As the conflict in Myanmar escalated,

02:14large parts of the country have become lawless zones

02:17exploited to operate scam centers, drug routes,

02:20and arms trafficking networks with little interference.

02:24In 2023, the United Nations found that East and Southeast Asia

02:28collectively lost up to US$37 billion to cyber-enabled fraud.
