JAKARTA, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia is drafting an ethics guideline on artificial intelligence (AI) to mitigate the risk of disinformation generated by the technology.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs said the potential risks associated with AI development have raised concerns among many stakeholders, underscoring the need for government safeguards.
"The rise of AI-generated disinformation increases the potential for information manipulation that could undermine the integrity of the democratic process," the ministry's Director of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystem, Aju Widya Sari, said on Friday, as quoted by the Antara news agency.
Indonesia has been intensifying efforts to curb the spread of disinformation. According to official data, by the end of August 2025, the government had identified 1,404,387 pieces of harmful content, including disinformation. ■
