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

On 22 August 2025, Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs closes the consultation on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics guidelines. 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.
