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

Authorities Must Probe Authenticity Of Purported JAC Meeting Minutes
KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 (Bernama) -- Authorities need to investigate the authenticity of a document allegedly containing minutes of a Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) meeting that went viral on social media, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said if the document is found to be genuine and classified, its dissemination could have legal implications, especially under the Official Secrets Act 1972 (OSA). 'I've been informed that a police report has been lodged. I cannot confirm whether the document is authentic or not. But if it is indeed genuine and classified, the OSA would apply. Therefore, we must be cautious and avoid spreading such material. 'We leave it to the police to investigate. As of now, I have no further information,' he told a press conference after officiating the Institute of Public Relations Malaysia (IPRM) YOU & AI: MEET@BANGSAR programme 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. Excerpts of the purported JAC meeting minutes, allegedly held in May, began circulating on social media yesterday. It is believed to have first appeared on Reddit before spreading to Facebook and the X platform. Fahmi also reminded media practitioners to remain vigilant and to comply with existing laws when reporting news. Asked whether the issue would be discussed at the next Cabinet meeting, Fahmi, who is also the MADANI government spokesperson, said it would be at the discretion of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. 'The prime minister is always attentive to matters of public interest, so there is a possibility it will be discussed,' he said.
