As Asean chair in 2025, Malaysia is positioning itself as a key player in the region's AI development. With a focus on becoming a digital innovation hub, Malaysia has launched the National Artificial Intelligence Office (NAIO) to guide its AI strategy. The NAIO's priorities include developing a code of ethics, a regulatory framework, and a long-term AI action plan. Budget 2025 provides further support through incentives for high-tech companies, R&D, and talent development.

The Malaysia Digital Economy Corp (MDEC) has successfully onboarded 140 AI solution providers, generating RM1 billion in revenue. AI is projected to contribute significantly to Malaysia's economy, with expectations of generating approximately US$115 billion in productive capacity by 2030.
