According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the Prime Minister addressed a graduation ceremony at Asia Euro University, underscoring AI's role as a crucial part of the global economy that enhances work quality and efficiency.

Nonetheless, he warned against relying on AI for decision-making and emphasized the importance of maintaining human judgment and critical thinking.

In conclusion, the Prime Minister reiterated the need to learn how to use AI effectively while upholding human responsibility and judgment, urging that AI should serve as a tool to aid, not replace, human decision-making.
