KUALA LUMPUR, August 25 – Malaysia is in the final stages of completing its National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo told Parliament today.

While preparing for future risks through structures to monitor AI developments, enforce laws, and implement the upcoming Digital Trust and Data Safety Strategy (2026–2030).
