Project Activity Details
As we conduct this research, we call for volunteers to help us collect data for this research. If you have information on any implementation of AI that fulfills the criteria above, please fill in the form here. The data may be sourced from news articles, government agencies' websites and official social media pages, and/or tender notices posted, such as the Ministry of Finance’s ePerolehan (procurement) platform. If you have bulk data, you may also send us a spreadsheet preferably in the same format via email at [email protected].
Based on engagements with the National AI Office Malaysia (NAIO), this effort has also been introduced in the public sector, where AI has been used in the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. Many other agencies, including the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), have also mentioned starting or are in the process of developing such systems or processes. In Sabah and Sarawak, the courts have begun using AI in their administrative system since 2020.
As we have observed that much of this information is scattered, Sinar Project have been monitoring and collecting information and data on these public sector AI implementations in our database. This includes costs, funding sources, procurement details, implementation partners from the private sector and risk classifications. This resource provides the public with access to procurement details and potential risks for further analysis. Since the project started in 2025, all information collected has been from public domains such as government agency websites and social media platforms, public procurement notices, as well as through news reports.
