KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian government takes seriously the allegation that the country is being used as a transit point for smuggling Nvidia artificial intelligence chips to China and is committed to complying with multilateral international export control regulations.
"Malaysia's policy aligns with control measures implemented by the United States , the European Union , and the United Kingdom," he said during an interview on the Bernama TV's Ruang Bicara Aspirasi Ekonomi programme on Wednesday . Tengku Zafrul said that the success of DeepSeek proves that AI technology is no longer monopolised by a few countries or large companies like Microsoft, OpenAI, or Google."Technological advancements like DeepSeek have a positive impact, making AI more inclusive and accessible to more users. If AI can operate at a lower cost, more businesses, including small and medium enterprises , can leverage it to boost productivity," he explained.
"If we only focus on producing skilled labour but neglect research and development , we will fall behind. The government has introduced the New Industrial Plan to enhance the value chain in the semiconductor and AI industries," he said. "We must transition from merely being a production centre to becoming a leader in innovation and technology development," he said.
