Malaysia will introduce its AI Technology Action Plan 2026-2030 during the current year. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo announced this development while attending the National AI Competition 2025 at Sunway University. The initiative strengthens the National Artificial Intelligence Governance and Ethics Guidelines that Malaysia established in the previous year.

The comprehensive strategy promotes cooperation among government agencies, private companies, educational institutions, and citizens. Officials expect the plan to advance knowledge exchange while accelerating AI implementation across essential industries. Malaysia anticipates launching an AI governance system by the middle of next year that emphasizes safety standards and responsibility measures. The minister stressed that technological advancement creates both employment prospects and potential risks. Authorities aim to prepare Malaysia as a completely digital society through improved infrastructure, enhanced security protocols, and expanded workforce training programs.
