Indonesia prepares two presidential regulations on AI
Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital will soon publish two presidential regulations on AI, focusing on a national AI roadmap and safety and ethics guidelines, currently under review at the State Secretariat.
Deputy Minister Nezar Patria said these regulations aim to complement existing frameworks and serve as a national guide for sectors including government, private industry, and academia.
He emphasized that while AI can improve work efficiency in journalism through automation of tasks like translation and sentiment analysis, new regulations are needed to address concerns over the loss of authenticity and intellectual integrity.
The regulations are expected to be issued as Peraturan Presiden (Perpres) in the near future.
Nezar highlighted that these policies are strategic for Indonesia’s AI development and will help establish a comprehensive national framework for AI deployment across various sectors.
