Indonesia's Lacking AI Regulatory Framework Sparks Calls for Strengthening with EU's Digital Services Act as Model

Published on 4.28.25

  The regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a pressing concern for Indonesia, with its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Institute's Executive Director Heru Sutadi expressing concerns over the country's current regulatory framework. A recent circular letter issued by Komdigi has been deemed insufficiently strong to effectively regulate AI technology in Indonesia. The European Union's (EU) Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) are cited as exemplary models for effective regulation, aiming to ensure that tech companies prioritize transparency, accountability, and consumer protection in their operations. Heru Sutadi's comments suggest that more needs to be done to strengthen Indonesia's regulations. The country's efforts to adjust its regulatory frameworks to better manage AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation are likely to be closely watched by other nations seeking to establish effective AI governance.
