Muizzu pledges an AI regulation bill in the next Majlis session
The president names artificial intelligence as one of four priority areas for legislation in the second half of the year.
In his first press conference after the referendum defeat and cabinet reshuffle, President Muizzu named the drafting of a new law to regulate artificial intelligence as a priority for the second half of the year, alongside reforms to public-sector recruitment, judicial administration, and data protection.
Few details accompanied the announcement; officials said the ministry of homeland security and technology, not yet renamed under the new cabinet map, would pilot the consultation.
