Indonesia: Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs opened consultation on AI ethics guidelines

On 8 August 2025, Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs opened a consultation on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics guidelines, until 22 August 2025. The guidelines apply to all AI developers, adopters, and users across sectors, introducing governance structures with role-specific responsibilities for policymakers, developers, and users. The guidelines establish safeguards against algorithmic bias and disinformation, mandatory self-assessment requirements, incident reporting mechanisms, sectoral monitoring systems, and a voluntary validation scheme for compliant organisations. The guidelines also propose creating a National AI Coordination Task Force for implementation oversight.
