Malaysia’s increasing reliance on AI-powered technologies has highlighted the need for resilience and robust security measures to mitigate potential threats in the digital landscape. Cybercriminals are leveraging AI to refine their methods, making scams more convincing and difficult to spot in Malaysia.
AI is also transforming political campaigns in Malaysia, offering new ways to reach and influence voters. However, this raises concerns about disinformation and manipulation of public opinion. Clear regulations, ethical standards, and public education are necessary to counter the dangers of AI-enabled electoral interference in Malaysia. The Malaysian government and institutions must invest in AI governance, transparency, and accountability to safeguard democracy and ensure technology serves the common good.
