The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) is developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to simplify the approval for halal certificate applications.
Jakim’s Halal Management Division director, Mohamad Zamri Mohamed Shapik, said the technology is expected to help Jakim, especially in analysing ingredients in food products.
Speaking as a guest on Bernama’s Ruang Bicara programme, Mohamed Zamri noted that the process takes longer because each and every ingredient in a product is checked and reviewed manually before it moves to the approval stage. And with the development of an AI System, the process is expected to become faster and more reliable.
Malaysia’s Halal certification remains globally recognised, securing the top spot among 81 countries for the 10th consecutive year.
