The country announced the creation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.gov.my\/about-naio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Malaysian National AI Office<\/a> in late 2024, an agency that plans to focus on seven areas, including the acceleration of AI adoption, AI adoption regulatory frameworks, and AI ethics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was rumored in early July that the Trump administration was considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-07-04\/us-plans-ai-chip-curbs-on-malaysia-thailand-over-china-concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">restricting the sale<\/a> of U.S. AI chips to Malaysia, and Thailand, in an attempt to prevent smuggling of these chips to China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While those rumors have yet to come to fruition, Malaysia\u2019s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry announced that it was going to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/07\/14\/malaysia-will-require-trade-permits-for-u-s-ai-chips\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">require trade permits for U.S. AI chips<\/a> on July 14.
