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.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an AI policy instrument here?

Anything a government or standards body has actually issued: acts, regulations, executive orders, rules, national strategies, frameworks, guidance, codes of practice, voluntary standards and open consultations. Each record states which of those it is, whether it binds anyone, and links the official source it was read from.

Are these records legally verified?

A record is marked verified only after a named reviewer has opened its official source and confirmed each field. Anything that has not been through that carries "pending review" on the record itself, and the data-health document reports the current totals. Nothing here is legal advice.

How current is the information?

Every record carries the date its source document was published and the date it was last checked. A record not re-checked within the freshness window set by the verification policy is flagged as stale rather than quietly presented as current.

Can I reuse this data?

Yes. The records are published under CC BY 4.0 with attribution, and are available as CSV, newline-delimited JSON and a read-only REST API that needs no key. Cite the record URL, the date accessed and the official source alongside it.
