Selangor to table AI governance White Paper in early 2027
A programme providing 50,000 free AI access slots will also include digital literacy and critical thinking, Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said.
Selangor will introduce a White Paper on artificial intelligence in early 2027 to guide how residents and the state administration use the technology, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said.
Speaking in Klang after opening the 2026 National Digital Education Carnival for Parental, Community and Private Sector Involvement (PIBKS), Amirudin said the proposed framework would encourage responsible use while preserving users’ judgement. He said people needed to adapt their thinking, interactions and actions to AI without becoming wholly reliant on it.
Digital literacy and critical thinking will also form part of a programme offering 50,000 free AI access slots in collaboration with the Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre (STDC), he said. STDC will oversee and manage the course syllabus, with those elements included under provisions outlined in the Selangor Budget 2027.
Amirudin also said proficiency in digital technology could help students grasp lessons faster and allow classes to continue online when haze, floods or other crises disrupt learning. The carnival included 30 exhibition booths run by the Education Department, government agencies and strategic partners.
