Edwin Hidayat Abdullah, Director General of Digital Ecosystems at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Technology, explained that the regulation will complement two Presidential Regulations (Perpres) regarding AI adoption in Indonesia that will be issued by the government.
"Now, there's one additional regulation besides this Presidential Decree, namely a draft ministerial regulation for the use of AI in electronic system providers, namely a regulation where the generative AI that appears must be watermarked (labeled)," said Edwin in a working meeting with Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives at the Parliament Complex.
Under this regulation, AI platforms must include a special label on AI-generated content uploaded to social media and other digital platforms. Violations of this regulation can result in the content being taken down .
Meanwhile, sanctions for AI-generated content that violates statutory regulations are regulated in the Electronic Information and Transactions Law.
