Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly taking hold throughout worldwide businesses. Since 2017, anticipated AI usage in Malaysia has increased by 32 percent due to innovative city projects and public safety and intelligent transportation applications. However, such AI development is afflicted by privacy and data breaches as the existing data protection regulation safeguards against unlawful commercial use of personal data. Recent developments reflect the failure of present legal mechanisms to address such infringements and effective data management and protection deficiencies. This study examines the legal concerns of privacy and data protection and problems associated with the use of AI in Malaysia. This research adopts a methodology of doctrinal research, a systematic method of legal reasoning, including analyzing primary and secondary resources. The findings imply that AI evolves, magnifying the ability to use personal information that may affect privacy. Thus, infringement of privacy and use of personal data without legal oversight or effective governance could result in privacy deprivation and abuse of personal data that might be used to perpetrate crimes
