Malaysia is set to strengthen its data protection laws to prevent leaks and misuse, following discussions with Google. The government aims to enhance regulations and laws, bolstering the artificial intelligence (AI) and data centre ecosystem. This move is crucial for building trust in the country’s growing economy. A modern economy must be built on trust, humanity, fairness, and democratized access.
