Consider This: AI Governance — Shaping Malaysia’s AI Future & Ambitions
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a part of our daily lives but as technology evolves more rapidly than governance frameworks, the question is no longer if Malaysia should govern AI, but how—how fast and how much.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Farlina Said, fellow in Cyber and Technology Policy at ISIS Malaysia, and Adilah Junid, Director of Legal and Government Affairs at Microsoft Malaysia.
