AI Governance, Standards and Public Trust in Malaysia
Commissioning essays, briefings, and research-informed commentary on how Malaysia should govern AI with trust, transparency, accountability, safety, and legitimacy.
Who should submit
Academics, legal scholars, ethicists, policy researchers, governance specialists, digital rights thinkers, public administrators, and interdisciplinary contributors.
Why this matters now
Malaysia is actively shaping standards, governance frameworks, and regulatory direction. This is the moment to build serious Malaysian thought, not commentary after the fact.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
We invite contributions that examine the future of AI governance in Malaysia, including ethics, standards, regulation, risk management, procurement, accountability, public trust, and institutional readiness. We welcome work that is analytically strong, practically relevant, and publicly readable.
AI in Malaysian Education, Universities and Talent Development
Seeking contributions on AI literacy, pedagogy, curriculum redesign, student capability, teacher development, assessment, and the future of learning in Malaysia.
Who should submit
Education academics, teachers, higher education researchers, curriculum experts, student-success specialists, learning designers, technologists, and interdisciplinary scholars.
Why this matters now
Malaysia's AI future depends on literacy, pedagogy, ethics, and talent development, not just tools.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
This call welcomes contributions exploring how AI is reshaping schools, universities, assessment, academic practice, teacher capability, and talent development. We want rigorous, useful work that helps Malaysia think clearly about education in an AI era.
AI in Healthcare, Medical Education and Public Service Delivery
Inviting work on safe, effective, equitable AI use in healthcare systems, medical education, diagnostics, administration, and citizen-facing public services.
Who should submit
Clinicians, medical educators, health services researchers, public health academics, public administration scholars, digital-health experts, and frontline professionals.
Why this matters now
Healthcare and public services are among the most visible areas where AI must deliver value without losing trust.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
We seek contributions on the opportunities, risks, and implementation realities of AI in healthcare and public services. This includes clinical workflows, diagnostics, workforce use, public-sector automation, service design, and the human consequences of deployment.
AI, MSMEs and Malaysia's Next Productivity Leap
Commissioning practical and strategic writing on how AI can strengthen Malaysian productivity, entrepreneurship, MSMEs, and national competitiveness.
Who should submit
Business academics, economists, management scholars, founders, industry experts, innovation researchers, and MSME practitioners.
Why this matters now
Malaysia's AI story will fail if it stays elite, theoretical, or confined to large institutions.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
We invite contributions examining how AI adoption can shape productivity, innovation, market competitiveness, and business transformation in Malaysia, especially among MSMEs and growth sectors.
AI, Language, Culture, Media and Inclusion in Malaysia
Seeking thoughtful writing on how AI intersects with Malaysian language, identity, culture, communication, media, inclusion, bias, and public understanding.
Who should submit
Social scientists, humanities scholars, linguists, disability scholars, EDI researchers, media experts, communication scholars, designers, and public intellectuals.
Why this matters now
If Malaysia's AI conversation excludes language, culture, and lived experience, it will become narrow, imported, and intellectually weak.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
This call is for contributions that move beyond technical AI and examine the social and cultural life of AI in Malaysia. We welcome work on language, representation, accessibility, inequality, media narratives, public trust, and inclusion.
Sovereign AI, Data Ecosystems and National Capability
Inviting contributions on Malaysian AI capability, local models, infrastructure, compute, datasets, digital sovereignty, and long-term strategic resilience.
Who should submit
Computer scientists, engineers, data specialists, economists, policy thinkers, digital strategists, and cross-sector contributors.
Why this matters now
A serious national AI conversation must include capability, not just adoption.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
We seek work exploring what Malaysia needs to become not only an AI user but an AI builder: infrastructure, data pipelines, local capability, procurement strategy, model development, partnerships, and institutional design.
Rolling Commentary: What Malaysia Should Notice About AI Right Now
A rolling call for short, sharp, evidence-aware commentary on AI developments that matter for Malaysia.
Who should submit
All NeuroCampur academics and invited contributors from any relevant field.
Why this matters now
The national conversation moves quickly. The lab needs recurring timely commentary, not only slow academic pieces.
Preferred formats
Suggested disciplines
This rolling series invites concise public-facing pieces that interpret emerging AI developments for a Malaysian audience. Articles should be clear, sharp, evidence-aware, and relevant.
