Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria asked artificial intelligence (AI) developers in Indonesia to be transparent and accountable when developing AI-based innovations.
"We encourage all developers to be ethical, transparent, and accountable when they produce AI-based platforms," Nezar said in a statement received and confirmed on Thursday.
This request was conveyed as a form of risk mitigation by AI developers, considering that currently many AI products are created unethically and are often misused.
One frequently encountered example is AI-based deepfake content , which is increasingly being used to deceive victims and ultimately causing significant losses, including financial ones.
"These AI-based deepfake products , when used to commit crimes, are incredibly effective at deceiving the public," he said.
