Indonesia is pushing for a revision of copyright law related to AI, which will introduce some regulations on AI content, such as prohibiting AI from imitating the expression methods of creators and imposing an obligation to pay compensation to news organizations when using news. This is due to concerns that AI development could stifle human creative activities. However, Google opposes the amendment, arguing that it would hinder innovation and curb investment needed for the digital future, and plans to consult with the government. The Indonesian parliament is preparing specific regulations, such as granting copyright protection only to AI works that involve a certain level of human creative participation, and explicitly stating the application of fair use provisions or license agreements in training AI models. If this amendment is passed, Indonesia will become the first country in Southeast Asia to introduce AI-related copyright regulations.
