Artificial Intelligence - Indonesia

Kominfo Circular No. 9/2023 (issued 19 Dec 2023) sets nine core ethical values—including inclusivity, humanity, security, accessibility, transparency, credibility, data protection, sustainability and IP—for public and private electronic system operators. It is explicitly non-binding guidance, not enforceable law.

The Indonesian Artificial Intelligence National Strategy 2020–2045 (Stranas AI) sets a 25-year vision across ethics/policy, talent, infrastructure/data, and research/innovation. It is a strategic policy document rather than enforceable regulation.

Komdigi drafted a Perpres pairing a National AI Roadmap (white paper) with an AI ethics-and-safety framework, reported ~90% complete and prioritized for President Prabowo's signature in early 2026. As of May 2026 it remained in the approval process and was not yet signed; derivative rules (e.g., mandatory AI-content labeling) would follow enactment.

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued AI-specific guidance, including a December 2023 code of ethics for responsible and trustworthy AI in the fintech industry and a 2025 AI governance manual for Indonesian banks mandating end-to-end governance, risk assessment and human oversight.

In the absence of AI-specific legislation, AI is subject to existing law—principally the Personal Data Protection Law (UU No. 27/2022) governing all AI data processing, and the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law (No. 11/2008, amended by No. 19/2016 and the 2024 second amendment).

Indonesia opened public consultation on its National AI Roadmap and AI ethics guidelines, with the government confirming in January 2026 that the Stranas AI 2020–2045 and the accompanying ethics framework—previously policy papers—would be elevated into Presidential Regulations.
