Putrajaya, 15th September 2026 - The Home Minister (KDN) wants all agencies under it to use artificial intelligence (AI) in their core functions to improve productivity, efficiency and service delivery to the public, said Home Minister, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
He said the move was part of the "AI for KDN, KDN for AI" approach developed by the ministry over the past three years, with the readiness of KDN personnel to adopt and use AI now reaching 75%.
He said the next step was to help agencies translate the approach into their respective core functions, with the leadership of each agency responsible for driving its implementation to make work easier and faster.
"We have three years to help agencies under KDN start translating this into their core functions. If it is the National Registration Department, then it is for the National Registration Department. If it is Immigration, then it is for Immigration. If it is the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), then it is for the Royal Malaysia Police.
"The leadership of each agency must then drive this approach in terms of implementation to make things easier and faster," he told reporters after attending KDN's monthly assembly here on Monday.
