Indonesia Tackles AI Security Risks Amid Cyber Threats to Healthcare and Education

Published on 4.18.25

  The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various industries has been a double-edged sword, bringing about numerous benefits while also posing significant challenges to security and ethics in Indonesia. The government is taking steps to address these concerns by strengthening its laws and regulations on AI development. In healthcare, AI can be used to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes, but recent reports have highlighted the need for responsible AI development due to instances of AI-powered medical devices being compromised by cyber threats. A hospital in Jakarta was affected by an AI-driven malware attack, which compromised patient data and disrupted critical services. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has also warned of the increasing threat of AI-powered phishing attacks on educational institutions, which can be particularly devastating as they often target vulnerable individuals such as students and faculty members. To address these challenges, Indonesia is strengthening its legal framework on AI development and use. The government is working closely with international bodies and private sector companies to develop guidelines and regulations that prioritize ethics and security in the context of AI-driven risks.
