GAICC AI Conference & Awards 2026 "Governing the Future – Building Responsible, Safe and Human-centric AI"

AI Governance Meetup Malaysia

An afternoon for GAICC members and AI governance professionals to meet GAICC, explore its framework and credential landscape, and connect with peers.
Event overview

AI conversations are evolving from big ideas to hard-earned lessons.

Organisations across Malaysia are using AI every day. Boards, regulators and customers now want to see that it is governed. Our first AI Governance Meetup in Kuala Lumpur brought GAICC members, certified graduates, training partners and practitioners into one room to talk about what that proof looks like in practice.

The afternoon covered the global AI picture, the GAICC AI Governance Framework and Maturity Model, real stories from Malaysian graduates, and an introduction to the local partners helping organisations build AI governance capability.

Dr Latha Karthigaa Murugesan

Head of AI Governance, GAICC

What's happening in the AI world

Joining live online, Dr Latha opened the programme with a fast briefing on the AI landscape: the developments that matter most for governance teams right now, and why the gap between using AI and governing AI keeps getting wider.

The session set the context for the rest of the afternoon. AI is no longer a side project. It sits inside everyday workflows, and that means organisations need clear ownership, clear controls and people trained to run them.

Dr Faiz Rasool

Governing AI you can prove

In the main session of the day, Dr Faiz walked attendees through how GAICC helps organisations move from good intentions to governance they can demonstrate. He covered four connected building blocks:

GAICC AI Governance Framework
AI Governance Maturity Model
Implementation Roadmap
GAICC Credential Landscape

Together they show where an organisation stands today, what good looks like at each stage, the practical steps to get there, and the credentials that equip people to lead that work.

From certification to real-world impact

Two GAICC graduates shared their journeys in ten-minute talks: why they chose to certify in AI governance, what the learning looked like, and how they are applying it in their roles and organisations.

Hearing from local practitioners gave attendees a grounded view of what AI governance work looks like in Malaysia today.

Conclusion, Q&A and networking

The day closed with an open floor. Attendees put their questions to the GAICC team, partners and graduates, followed by closing remarks and time to connect with peers working on the same challenges.

Key themes

Four ideas that ran through the afternoon

01

Proof over promises

Governance only counts when you can show it to a board, a regulator or a customer.

02

Know your starting point

A maturity model shows where you stand today and what the next stage looks like.

03

A clear roadmap

Practical, staged steps turn a framework into work your teams can actually deliver.

04

Skilled people

Certified professionals and local partners are what make governance stick.
