The Artificial Intelligence Governance Bill currently being prepared in Malaysia has been completed and made ready for submission to the Cabinet. The government aims to take the bill to parliament after establishing the legal infrastructure and oversight mechanisms.

Current Status of the Bill

Malaysia's draft artificial intelligence governance bill has been completed and will be submitted to the Cabinet. The government is continuing its efforts to establish the structure required to implement the proposed law.

Implementation and Oversight Structure

Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo stated that before the law comes into force, agencies and an administrative structure must be established to monitor and oversee compliance. The structure to be established will ensure compliance with the law and take necessary actions in case of violations.

Comprehensive Governance Framework

The envisioned bill forms part of a broader artificial intelligence governance framework consisting of technical standards, regulations, and laws. This framework aims to keep pace with the rapid changes in technology.

Preparation Efforts and Institutions

Within the scope of legal preparations, AI Malaysia was established and has begun collaborative work with SIRIM, a standards center that became operational last month, and other organizations.
