Professionals must remain responsible for decisions made with the help of artificial intelligence, as its growing use could have consequences for legal liability and insurance, says Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.

In his keynote address at the inaugural Financial Lines Forum 2026 in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday (Oct 6), he said while AI could assist clinical judgment, corporate decision-making and the processing of complex information, effective human oversight remained essential.

00:00Please join me in welcoming Ashree, Dr. Obama Yusuke, welcome.
00:05Distinguished guests, Artificial Intelligence adds yet another important dimension to our discussion today.
00:12There is no doubt that AI offers significant opportunities.
00:16In healthcare, it can assist critical judgment.
00:20In the corporate sphere, it can support decision-making, improve efficiency and help professionals process increasingly complex information.
00:30But as our reliance on this system grows, so too does the importance of understanding how they are used and
00:38how they are governed.
00:40We need to ask some very practical questions.
00:43How reliable is the information produced by an AI system?
00:48What are the limits of its capabilities?
00:51Who is responsible for checking its output?
00:55When should the doctor, director or other professional questions what the system recommends?
01:01And how do we properly document the decision that has been informed by AI?
01:07There is also a broader question.
01:09What happens when the system does not perform as expected?
01:13These are not merely questions about technology.
01:15There are questions of governance, professional responsibility, and human oversight.
01:22Increasingly, they may also have consequences for legal liability and insurance.
01:28For any institution adopting AI, it is therefore important to understand why the technology is being used,
01:36what risks may arise from its use, and what safeguards are necessary.
01:40Technology may assist professional judgment, but effective human oversight remains essential.
01:47Addressing these issues requires a conversation that extends beyond any single profession.
01:54It requires engagement among those who develop the technology, those who deploy it, those who rely on it,
02:01and close to the sense and manage the risks associated with its use.
02:07And that is precisely why a forum such as this is so valuable.
02:13By bringing together legal professionals, healthcare practitioners, operators, leaders, insurance brokers,
02:20and other stakeholders, we have an opportunity to learn from one another,
02:25to better understand the risks and opportunities before us,
02:29and to consider how our respective professionals can respond responsibly to a relatively changing environment.
02:38Ultimately, the question is not simply what artificial intelligence can do.
02:43The more important question is how we, as professionals, choose to use it responsibly.
02:56The invariant, it is something that we hear.
