Overview

The Malaysian government has announced plans to introduce an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bill in Parliament during the first quarter of 2027. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo stated the legislation will utilize a risk-based approach to provide strategic guidance and mitigate potential harms associated with digital technology.

In practical applications, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (HASiL) is already utilizing AI to enhance tax administration. The agency reported that AI technology has identified over 7,700 potential tax risk cases through e-Invoice data analysis and has deployed an AI-based chatbot, HAFY – TaxAssist, to assist taxpayers.
