Artificial Intelligence (AI) now stands at the heart of global transformation, not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for sustainable development across all major sectors.
At WAIC’s High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance., I reaffirmed Malaysia’s support for the Global AI Governance Action Plan, a bold step towards bridging digital divides and ensuring emerging technologies like AI are developed and governed for the collective good of humanity.
Malaysia recognises AI’s potential as an economic growth catalyst. Through the National AI Office (NAIO) established in 2024, we are advancing AI governance and adoption across all sectors. As ASEAN Chair 2025, we are proud to spearhead the ASEAN AI Safety Network to promote responsible AI use and regional cooperation.
This August, Malaysia will host the ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit (11–12 Aug) and Smart Cities World Expo Kuala Lumpur (17–19 Sept) platforms for policymakers, industry and academia to drive the global digital agenda forward.
In this AI-driven era, collaboration is not optional—it is essential. Only through shared commitment, innovation and vigilance can we build a digital future that is secure, inclusive and trusted by all.
