Bonifasius Wahyu Pudjianto, head of the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs, shared the initiative on Friday.
He said the effort aims to address the growing misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), which could potentially harm the public.
“They (CSOs) have created a tool that will be launched soon,” Pudjianto said, noting that one of the contributors is the Indonesian Anti-Defamation Society (Mafindo).
He explained that the tool will allow users to verify not just text, but also video, images, and audio content.
“This is expected to help the public uncover the truth behind digital content,” he added.
In addition to developing verification tools, the government is also focusing on public education, particularly for content creators, regarding digital ethics.
Pudjianto emphasized the importance of transparency, urging content creators to clearly indicate whether their content was generated using AI.
“Content creators should include a label or disclaimer specifying whether their content is AI-generated or original. This is crucial to help the public distinguish between real and artificial content,” he said.
He acknowledged that Indonesia currently lacks specific regulations governing the use and oversight of AI-generated content, including deepfakes.
However, discussions on such regulations will be incorporated into the upcoming National AI Roadmap, which is still being developed.
