Two Anwars on the Ballot? Regulating AI Before GE16

An op-ed published by Fulcrum argues that Malaysia needs to regulate AI-assisted political campaigning before its next general elections (GE16).

The op-ed does not propose specific regulatory measures but emphasizes the urgency of action given the rapid advancement of AI technology.

However, it acknowledges that any regulatory effort must balance the need to prevent misinformation with the protection of free political speech. The piece concludes by urging lawmakers to act before GE16 to safeguard democratic processes.
