KLANG, Nov 15 – The Selangor Artificial Intelligence (AI) White Paper will outline a comprehensive roadmap for the state’s AI development, covering the industrial ecosystem, supply chains, semiconductors, and shaping the public’s mindset.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the document will not only focus on adopting AI technology but also address the need for society to understand, engage with, and adapt to technological shifts.
Amirudin said a crucial consideration is ensuring society does not become entirely dependent on AI, as the technology still requires human input and knowledge.
“AI relies on data, and who provides that data..It is provided by humans.
“Humans can refine it using their existing knowledge and the reasoning capabilities of a sound human mind.
“Therefore, we will prepare our mindset regarding how we interact, act, and adapt to AI, including within the realm of education. This is part of the framework we intend to incorporate into the White Paper,” he said.
He made these remarks after officiating the 2026 National Digital Education Carnival for Parental, Community, and Private Sector Engagement (PIBKS) here today.
Previously, Amirudin said the Selangor State Government is expected to table the AI White Paper in June 2027 to strengthen the integration of AI technology within state administration and daily life.
He said AI will be a key priority for the state government, as the advancement of this technology is inevitable and should, therefore, be harnessed optimally.
He added that the best approach is to understand and adapt AI to facilitate daily tasks, rather than viewing the technology as a threat.
Under the 2027 Selangor Budget, 50,000 residents will gain access to the AI application Gemini for one year, including online and in-person training packages.
The state government also allocated RM12 million to implement the initiative in collaboration with the Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre (STDC) and Google.
