Malaysia Bill Proposed

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance Bill (proposed)

A proposed horizontal AI law announced for stakeholder engagement and public consultation by the Ministry of Digital through the National AI Office. It takes a risk-based approach across the AI lifecycle, assigns responsibilities according to actors' roles, and is intended to complement existing laws rather than regulate AI outputs directly. It encourages incident reporting, safeguards and sandboxes, and the government aims to table it in Parliament.
