The Malaysia government will establish a sovereign AI cloud to ensure the country’s national artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are secure, sovereign and able to support government services as well as the country’s digital development, national news agency Bernama reported.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was among key issues discussed at the National Digital Economy and 4IR Council (MED4IRN) meeting, which he chaired Thursday morning.

“Among the main agenda items were the implementation of ‘MyDigital ID’, which needs to be strengthened, and the status of ‘MyGov Malaysia’, which requires the cooperation and support of all ministries and agencies.

“All these efforts are part of preparations for Malaysia to become an AI-driven nation by 2030,” he said in a post on Facebook.

Anwar said the meeting also endorsed the proposed National Quantum Policy, beginning with the establishment of a National Quantum Task Force to strengthen preparedness in addressing quantum technology advancements and the Q-Day threat, which could compromise the country’s data security and digital infrastructure.

He stressed that such measures are critical to ensure Malaysia remains competitive, resilient and ready to meet future technological challenges, the report added.
