Fahmi: Govt considering mandatory 'AI generated' label under online safety act
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the move is crucial to address the misuse of AI, especially on social media platforms. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): The government is considering making it a requirement to label artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content as 'AI generated' under the Online Safety Act 2024, which is expected to come into force by the end of this year. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the move is crucial to address the misuse of AI, especially on social media platforms for purposes such as scams, defamation and identity impersonation. 'We may consider this requirement, for example, under the Online Safety Act, which is expected to come into effect, Insya-Allah, by the end of this year. 'We also believe platforms must be proactive in labelling AI-generated content as such,' he said at a press conference after attending the Institute of Public Relations Malaysia's (IPRM) programme YOU & AI: MEET@BANGSAR here today. Also present were Communications Ministry Deputy Secretary-General (Strategic Communications and Creative Industry) Nik Kamaruzaman Nik Husin, Tun Abdul Razak Broadcasting and Information Institute (IPPTAR) director Roslan Ariffin, and IPRM president Jaffri Amin. Fahmi noted that several social media platforms have already begun voluntarily labelling AI-generated content, and that such initiatives could be expanded regionally through cooperation among ASEAN countries. On concerns over the spread of fake videos and images generated by AI, he said there are currently no globally satisfactory regulatory guidelines in place. However, he added that active discussions are ongoing, including at the level of the United Nations (UN) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). 'I recently attended the AI for Good Summit in Geneva, Switzerland. Indeed, at both the UN and ITU levels, there is ongoing debate over who should be responsible for AI regulation. 'Certainly, at the national level, Parliament and ministries such as the Ministry of Digital must lead. But we also recognise that every ministry has a role in assessing and evaluating AI use within its scope,' he said. Earlier, in his speech, Fahmi stressed that AI cannot fully replace human roles. He also urged the younger generation, especially Gen Alpha, to understand the benefits, challenges, and limitations of AI, given that they are growing up in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. – Bernama AI generated artificial intelligence fahmi fadzil Online Safety Act 2024

Malaysia may require AI-generated content labels under new Online Safety Act
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is exploring the possibility of making it compulsory to label artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content under the upcoming Online Safety Act 2024. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil stated that this measure aims to tackle the misuse of AI, particularly in scams, defamation, and identity fraud on social media. Fahmi mentioned that the Online Safety Act is expected to be enforced by the end of this year. He emphasised that platforms should also take proactive steps in identifying AI-generated content. The minister shared these remarks during a press conference after attending the Institute of Public Relations Malaysia's (IPRM) event titled 'YOU & AI: MEET@BANGSAR'. Several social media platforms have already started voluntarily labelling AI-generated content. Fahmi suggested that such efforts could be expanded regionally through cooperation among ASEAN nations. Regarding concerns over AI-generated fake videos and images, Fahmi acknowledged the lack of global regulatory standards. However, discussions are ongoing at international levels, including within the United Nations (UN) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Fahmi recently attended the AI for Good Summit in Geneva, where debates on AI regulation responsibilities took place. He stressed that while national bodies like Parliament and the Ministry of Digital must lead regulatory efforts, every ministry has a role in assessing AI's impact within its jurisdiction. Earlier in his speech, Fahmi highlighted that AI cannot fully replace human roles. He also encouraged younger generations, especially Gen Alpha, to understand AI's benefits and limitations as they grow up in an AI-driven world. – Bernama

Assam Man Arrested For Creating Fake Profile, AI-Generated Pics Of Influencer Archita Phukan
Last Updated: The accused, identified as Pratim Bora, was Phukan's former partner who created a fake profile and posted AI-generated pictures to defame the influencer. A man has been arrested in Assam's Dibrugarh for allegedly creating a fake social media profile and morphed images of influencer Archita Phukan, also known as 'Babydoll Archi'. The accused, identified as Pratim Bora, was arrested on Saturday. He was a former partner of Phukan who allegedly uploaded objectionable pictures of the influencer to defame and harass the woman, the Hindustan Times reported, citing the police. The Assamese model and influencer recently made headlines after a photo of her with American adult film star Kendra Lust surfaced online, making her one of the most talked-about names online. However, Phukan said her pictures with Kendra Lust were morphed and shared from a fake account, adding that her friends and acquaintances came across the pictures after they were widely circulated on social media. After Phukan's brother lodged a complaint, Bora, a resident of Tinsukia, was arrested from his residence. It was soon revealed that Bora had been operating the fake profile for several weeks. Police said Bora had gone into hiding to escape punishment for his actions, but he was caught after authorities traced his phone using IP address data and technical evidence. His phone and laptop were seized from his possession and sent for forensic examination. Bora later admitted to sourcing images from Phukan's old social media posts and editing. He had reportedly created the fake account out of emotional frustration after his relationship with the influencer had ended, as per the report. An FIR was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and the police said they might add provisions of the IT Act pertaining to cyber fraud, defamation, identity manipulation, obscenity, and invasion of privacy against the accused. Bora is currently in police custody and will be produced before a court. view comments First Published: July 13, 2025, 13:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
