One governed home for artificial intelligence in Perlis — building public AI literacy, safeguarding citizens, and powering every state agency with trusted, compliant AI.
Stood up under the Ministry of Digital (Dec 2024) to coordinate the country's AI agenda — adoption frameworks, a national code of ethics, and the AI Technology Action Plan 2026–2030.
Malaysia's National Guidelines on AI Governance & Ethics (MOSTI, Sep 2024) set seven principles for responsible, human-centred AI — the rulebook a state CoE can enforce locally.
The 600-acre Bandar Teknologi Maju Perlis in Chuping will host an AI data centre & HPC — a reported ~RM49b pipeline and ~2,000 long-term tech jobs.
AI tools are adopted ad-hoc, agency by agency — no single trusted home, no shared standards, duplicated spend.
Most citizens — and many civil servants — lack AI fundamentals, leaving real value unclaimed and risks misunderstood.
The AI models and vendors already in use are not examined against policy, law or the AIGE principles.
Misuse, data leakage, AI scams and "off-guard" decisions can go uncaught — with no one accountable.
A single, governed hub where citizens gain AI fluency, agencies adopt AI with confidence, and every AI company, model and solution must comply with policy and law — bringing benefit, never harm, to the state's future operations.
Gather the state's AI applications into one governed place — with guardrails, shared standards and a single source of trust.
Give every Perlis citizen AI fundamentals and the savviness to use AI safely, productively and confidently.
Raise public AI literacy across the state through sustained awareness, engagement and training.
Guardrails, standards and compliance — the rulebook for AI in the state.
Build & deploy trusted AI tools that agencies can adopt immediately.
AI literacy and skills for citizens and civil servants alike.
Industry, academia and vendors — a living local AI ecosystem.
Audit, monitor and respond — continuous oversight, not one-off approval.
The CoE turns these national principles from voluntary guidance into enforced, locally-checked practice for any AI used in Perlis.
