A portal that utilises artificial intelligence (AI) will be created to help people verify the information they receive, repel defamatory news and fight fraud or scams, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

The portal, he said, was expanded from the special segment “Biar Betul!”, which was shown on RTM channels, as the less-than-a-minute-long segment was insufficient and needed to be sped up to deal with the issue.
