Lao government boosts AI efforts to improve living standards
VIENTIANE: The Lao government is ramping up efforts to harness artificial intelligence (AI) to promote inclusive development and improve quality of life. A high-level dialogue was held recently in the Lao capital Vientiane, bringing together government officials, development partners, and youths to explore AI's potential to reduce inequality and accelerate progress. Deputy Minister of Technology and Communications Santisouk Simmalavong emphasised AI's potential to boost government efficiency, improve services, and support human resource development. However, he cautioned that digital gaps in access and skills could leave some behind. The Ministry of Technology and Communications was working with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) on a national digital economy strategy and an AI ethics readiness assessment. These initiatives aligned with Laos' preparations of its 10th National Socio-Economic Development Plan and its anticipated graduation from least developed country status. - Xinhua

Going deep to study scammers using AI deepfake vidoes
PETALING JAYA: With deepfake videos showing supposedly well-known Malaysians promoting fake investments, scammers are increasingly using advanced AI tools to deceive the public and gain their trust. Former Pasir Pinji assemblyman Datuk Chan Kam took a bold step by deliberately engaging with a fake online investment scheme to warn the public about how such scams operate. He said many scammers were now using artificial intelligence (AI) to create highly realistic fake investment videos and advertisements. These are then widely circulated on social media to trick people into handing over their money. Chan, who was accompanied by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong, held a press conference at Wisma MCA on Saturday (July 5). 'In the past two months, I've noticed more of these fake investment ads appearing online. So last month, I decided to click on one of them to see what would happen,' he said. 'After entering my contact details, I received a call from someone speaking Mandarin. The caller told me about an investment opportunity and even helped me set up an account.' Chan said he then transferred RM1,100 to a bank account provided by the scammer and followed the instructions as though he were a genuine investor. 'The scammer contacted me daily, sharing so-called good news about the investment and encouraging me to invest more. 'Fortunately, I knew it was a scam from the beginning, so I didn't proceed further. But the RM1,100 I initially transferred is gone,' he said. He explained that the money had been pooled together by himself, Chong, and several members of the Malaysia-China Friendship and Mutual Assistance Association and the Crime Prevention Foundation. Their aim was to understand how these online scams work. Chan said he used his real name and bank account for the transaction and has kept all relevant evidence. He plans to lodge a police report soon. 'I hope that by sharing my experience, more people will be cautious and avoid falling for these scams on social media,' he added. Meanwhile, Chong said scammers are using AI to produce deep fake videos that appear to show well-known Malaysians endorsing fake investment schemes — raking in billions from unsuspecting victims. He added that the scammers also create deep fake videos of leaders like Anwar, MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong and other ministers. Some videos even include logos from trusted media outlets like The Star to appear as authentic news reports. Other prominent individuals targeted in these scams include tycoon Tan Sri Robert Kuok, former Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Capital A CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes. 'It's ridiculous – our Prime Minister doesn't even have an Indian accent,' Chong remarked. 'And remember, there's no such thing as easy money. How could paying a small amount give you huge returns? 'With AI now so advanced, people must be extra cautious. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.' He also shared police data showing that in 2024, there were 13,956 scam cases reported, involving total losses of RM2.11bil. He added that 85% of these scams originated from platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram.

Trump Administration Moves To Curb AI Chip Exports To Malaysia, Thailand
The Trump administration is drafting new export controls that would restrict shipments of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips from companies like Nvidia Corp to Malaysia and Thailand, in a renewed effort to curb alleged smuggling of semiconductors into China, according to sources familiar with the matter. Bloomberg reported that the draft rule, still under review by the Commerce Department, is aimed at closing loopholes that US officials believe may be allowing restricted chips to reach China via intermediaries in Southeast Asia. The move builds on earlier Biden-era restrictions but reflects a broader push by the Trump administration to tighten control over the flow of critical technology. Under the proposed measure, US chipmakers would face new licensing requirements to export AI processors to the two countries. However, the rule is expected to include temporary exemptions and carveouts for companies based in the US and allied nations, as well as safeguards to avoid disrupting semiconductor supply chains, particularly in chip packaging and assembly, where Southeast Asia plays a vital role. The crackdown comes amid a sharp increase in AI chip shipments to Malaysia and growing US concerns over data centre projects in the region, including those backed by Oracle Corp. Prosecutors in neighbouring Singapore have also charged individuals over alleged misrepresentation of chip destinations, with AI servers possibly rerouted from Singapore to Malaysia. Nvidia, while not implicated, is at the centre of these efforts given its dominance in the AI chip market. Though US allies and tech firms have pushed back on some aspects of the previous AI diffusion rules, Washington appears determined to preserve and strengthen chip curbs targeting China. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently testified that AI chips could still be sold to allies but only if deployed via US-approved cloud and data centre operators. Malaysia and Thailand have not publicly responded to the draft rule. Nvidia declined to comment. If implemented, the regulation would mark the Trump administration's first formal step in reshaping US AI export policy, one that could have wide-ranging implications for Southeast Asia's growing role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.
