Professional responsibility
Malaysian Bar guidance.Bar Council Circular No 242/2025 (3 Jul 2025) asks members to verify all generative AI output against authoritative legal databases, not to input client-specific facts or personal data, to comply with the PDPA and to keep human oversight.
Verify every output. AI can be wrong, invent sources or miss Malaysian rules. Check it against the primary source before you rely on it.
Protect client confidentiality. Don't put client-identifying facts or personal data into general AI tools. Personal data is protected under the PDPA 2010; use tools and settings your firm has approved.
It does not replace professional judgement. You remain responsible for your advice, work and sign-off under the Legal Profession Act 1976 and the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules 1978. Follow any guidance from the Malaysian Bar.
