Experts back mandatory labelling of AI-generated content
KUALA LUMPUR: The government's plan to mandate the labelling of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content has been described by cybersecurity experts as a much-needed step to curb misinformation and restore public trust online. Professor Dr Selvakumar Manickam from Universiti Sains Malaysia's Centre for Cyber Security Research (CYRES) said the regulation was timely, as AI tools have become so advanced that many people can no longer distinguish between content created by humans and machines. He said that as generative AI tools grow more sophisticated and accessible, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the public to tell the difference between human-created and AI-generated content. "China has already mandated this requirement, showing a global move towards such regulations. "Mandatory labelling can help restore transparency and accountability in the digital information ecosystem, serving as a crucial step in protecting users," he told the New Straits Times. Selvakumar said implementation was feasible, though challenging, with enforcement on local platforms potentially handled through licensing terms or Application Programming Interfaces-level tagging of AI-generated content. "However, overseas platforms pose a bigger issue due to jurisdictional limitations. "The government could consider leveraging licensing requirements imposed on external social media platforms to compel them to comply with AI labelling regulations." He said that mandatory labelling could also enhance cybersecurity and national security by curbing AI-generated disinformation and deepfakes, while offering consumer protection by helping to prevent AI-driven scams and fraud. However, he cautioned that risks include enforcement challenges, particularly with foreign platforms, which could lead to uneven compliance. "Poorly defined rules could result in overreach or misuse, stifling legitimate AI creativity. "Finally, labelling might create a false sense of security, making users believe content is safe even if it is misleading." Cybersecurity provider LGMS Bhd executive chairman Fong Choong Fook said the initiative was a smart and necessary move, given how advanced AI tools have become in mimicking real content. "AI-generated content is becoming so realistic that most people can no longer tell what's real and what's fake. "Having clear labels gives people a better chance to evaluate what they're reading or watching, particularly when it comes to news or political messaging," he told the New Straits Times. Fong said labelling AI-generated material promotes transparency, improves digital awareness, and helps users make more informed decisions online. "If users know a piece of content is AI-generated, they're less likely to be misled or manipulated. "It builds trust and gives the public a fairer way to assess information." However, he warned that labelling alone is not enough. "It's just one part of the puzzle. We still need strong content moderation, public education, and better digital literacy overall," he said. Fong said there is a need to educate users on what AI can do, how to spot red flags, and why they should not take everything at face value online. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil was reported as saying that the government may consider making it mandatory, under the proposed Online Safety Act, for digital platforms to clearly label content that has been generated or altered using AI. Fahmi said some platforms had already begun introducing such features, but regulation might be necessary to ensure consistency and accountability across the board.

China willing to promote strategic cooperative partnership with Sri Lanka: Chinese FM
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, meets with Sri Lankan Minister of Foreign Affairs Vijitha Herath in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 12, 2025. - Xinhua KUALA LUMPUR: China is willing to work with Sri Lanka to promote a strategic cooperative partnership based on sincere mutual assistance and a lasting friendship, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Saturday (July 12) when meeting his Sri Lankan counterpart Vijitha Herath. Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China and Sri Lanka have a traditional friendship. The two heads of state held fruitful talks and reached an important consensus on deepening the bilateral strategic cooperative partnership and jointly building a China-Sri Lanka community with a shared future, which pointed out the direction and provided guidance for the development of bilateral relations. Wang pointed out that China is a reliable partner of Sri Lanka, and the two sides should deepen high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and practical cooperation in various fields. The two sides should work together to effectively implement the two flagship projects of the Colombo Port City and the Hambantota Port, accelerate negotiations for China-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement and create new growths for cooperation in such areas as green energy, digital economy, modern agriculture and marine economy, Wang said. He pointed out that China-Sri Lanka maritime cooperation is mutually beneficial, not aimed at third parties, and should not be interfered by third parties. China is willing to strengthen coordination with Sri Lanka in such platforms as the Asean Regional Forum to jointly maintain stability and development in the region, he noted, adding the so-called "Indo-Pacific Strategy" provokes bloc confrontation and coerces parties to take sides, which is not in line with the trend of the time and will not receive support from regional countries. Herath, for his part, said that Sri Lanka attaches great importance to its relations with China and firmly adheres to the one-China principle. Sri Lanka thanks China for its firm support for Sri Lanka in safeguarding its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and for its timely assistance during difficulties. Sri Lanka-China cooperation has brought great benefits to the Sri Lankan people and has effectively promoted the overall development and connectivity of the region, said Herath, adding that Sri Lanka is willing to work with China to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields, including the economy, trade, investment, infrastructure and maritime affairs, and further deepen the strategic cooperative partnership. - Xinhua

Fahmi: Govt considering mandatory 'AI generated' label under online safety act
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the move is crucial to address the misuse of AI, especially on social media platforms. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): The government is considering making it a requirement to label artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content as 'AI generated' under the Online Safety Act 2024, which is expected to come into force by the end of this year. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the move is crucial to address the misuse of AI, especially on social media platforms for purposes such as scams, defamation and identity impersonation. 'We may consider this requirement, for example, under the Online Safety Act, which is expected to come into effect, Insya-Allah, by the end of this year. 'We also believe platforms must be proactive in labelling AI-generated content as such,' he said at a press conference after attending the Institute of Public Relations Malaysia's (IPRM) programme YOU & AI: MEET@BANGSAR here today. Also present were Communications Ministry Deputy Secretary-General (Strategic Communications and Creative Industry) Nik Kamaruzaman Nik Husin, Tun Abdul Razak Broadcasting and Information Institute (IPPTAR) director Roslan Ariffin, and IPRM president Jaffri Amin. Fahmi noted that several social media platforms have already begun voluntarily labelling AI-generated content, and that such initiatives could be expanded regionally through cooperation among ASEAN countries. On concerns over the spread of fake videos and images generated by AI, he said there are currently no globally satisfactory regulatory guidelines in place. However, he added that active discussions are ongoing, including at the level of the United Nations (UN) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). 'I recently attended the AI for Good Summit in Geneva, Switzerland. Indeed, at both the UN and ITU levels, there is ongoing debate over who should be responsible for AI regulation. 'Certainly, at the national level, Parliament and ministries such as the Ministry of Digital must lead. But we also recognise that every ministry has a role in assessing and evaluating AI use within its scope,' he said. Earlier, in his speech, Fahmi stressed that AI cannot fully replace human roles. He also urged the younger generation, especially Gen Alpha, to understand the benefits, challenges, and limitations of AI, given that they are growing up in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. – Bernama AI generated artificial intelligence fahmi fadzil Online Safety Act 2024
