Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria emphasized that verification discipline is the main differentiator between professional journalism and content produced by social media or technology such as artificial intelligence (AI).
"Verification is an important boundary, a demarcation between professional journalism and amateurish information produced on social media," Nezar said in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday.
Nezar highlights the new realities brought about by digital technology, including deepfakes and synthetic content that are increasingly difficult to distinguish from reality.
