Chang Lih Kang, the Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, says that the ministry’s code of ethics and regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) should be ready by 2024.
In a Facebook post on 10 October, he said that several parties will help to create this code including Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, government officials, higher education schools, and business people.
Chang then said that the code of ethics and governance would be the ground for regulating AI in the country. He also said that his ministry is looking into whether or not they need the AI Act and a legal framework.
“This week in the Dewan Rakyat session, there was a question raised on the monitoring of the use of AI technology, which is a complex technology and the control and monitoring process involves various aspects such as technical, legal, ethical, policy and standards.
“The National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025 contains the Seven Principles of Responsible AI, which is a guideline for the development of trusted and responsible AI that can further protect the rights and privacy of individuals,” he said.
And Chang says that the Department of Standards Malaysia (JSM) has also set up a National Mirror Committee to create AI guidelines for the whole country.
He said that MIMOS was in charge of the committee, which consists of people from the government, agencies, academia, and business.
“The use of standards and legislation are complementary to each other. Relying solely on legal aspects in the regulation and monitoring of AI will slow down the innovation of this technology,” he said.
