AI ethics not only help ensure that AI development and use benefit society but also prevent the negative risks associated with this technology.
“An improvement is recorded recently, with around 80 percent of companies that use AI having a kind of ethical guidelines in AI development,” Nezar remarked at the Tech & Telco Summit 2025, which he joined virtually on Friday (February 20).
The deputy minister emphasized that AI systems must be transparent and accountable, allowing the public to understand and trust them in line with AI ethics guidelines.
In addition, AI must be free from detrimental bias, and its use must be inclusive without any discrimination.
“We must also pay attention to user data protection with clear procedures. It is expected that AI developers will provide guidance or awareness to users about their personal data that may be used in AI development,” Nezar explained.
He further emphasized the need for a clear monitoring mechanism in AI technology, for instance, in sectors considered important, such as health.
According to Nezar, the use of AI in the health sector must be monitored more strictly at the sectoral and financial services levels.
He affirmed that AI systems must also be designed to support human needs rather than undermine human values.
“Indonesia wants ethical, fair, and responsible AI," he concluded.
