Ministry: Detailed AI Regulations on The Way

Antara News is reporting that the Indonesian government is set to draft a more detailed and comprehensive regulation on the use and control of artificial intelligence (AI).

During a meeting in his office in Jakarta on Monday (6/1/25,) Nezar Patria, Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) invited Yovie Widiyanto, Presidential Special Staff for Creative Economy to partake in the drafting of such regulations.

“We may draft either a presidential regulation or a ministerial one as a more detailed provision,” he said.

The deputy minister also highlighted that the planned regulation would complement a circular letter on AI ethics issued by the government in 2023, say Antara News, adding that “The circular letter has been quite well received by the public. However, it remains crucial that the government implement a more detailed regulation in response to the increasing popularity of AI in Indonesia,” he said in the ministry’s statement cited on Tuesday. (7/1/25.)

He underlined that a more detailed regulation is required to help the public utilize the cutting-edge digital technology responsibly.

Komdigi Ministry’s Secretary-General Mira Tayyiba, for her part, noted that her side has opted for a horizontal approach to govern technology utilization, aligning with Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning electronic information and transactions and Law No. 27 of 2002 on personal data protection, say Antara News.

“As for technical matters, like the use of AI in the health and education sectors, we will resort to a technical use case,” she said.

Tayyiba then affirmed that synergy and collaboration among ministries and other institutions are the key for Indonesia to regulate the adoption of AI properly.

“Considering that AI-related issues are not to be taken lightly, we believe that working alone is not a viable option,” she stressed.
