Abstract

Malaysia’s rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) necessitates a framework that aligns with the nation’s core values enshrined in the Federal Constitution and Rukun Negara, which represent the foundation of its national identity. This article proposes a novel approach for regulating and governing AI in Malaysia by integrating these principles. The authors examine how specific applications of the Federal Constitution and Rukun Negara pillars can guide AI development. This includes designing AI systems that respect religious beliefs and ethical considerations (Belief in God), prioritize national security and well-being (Loyalty to King and Country), operate within the bounds of the Constitution (Supremacy of the Federal Constitution), and uphold transparency and accountability (Rule of Law). Additionally, analysis on how Courtesy and Morality can be translated into design principles that promote social harmony and responsible AI development. By integrating these principles, this framework safeguards responsible AI development within Malaysia. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable case study for other nations navigating the ethical and legal complexities of AI in the 21st century.
