The Garis Panduan Tadbir Urus dan Etika Kecerdasan Buatan (AIGE), launched in September 2024 by MOSTI, provides strategic guidance for the safe, ethical, and responsible development and use of artificial intelligence in Malaysia. Operating under the theme "AI for Malaysia, AI for Semua," the guidelines aim to strengthen public trust, mitigate ethical risks, and enhance technology adoption across multiple sectors while remaining voluntary. The framework supports the National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025 and several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals across key national application domains.
