It also provides for operational monitoring, voluntary self-assessments to encourage maturity and public trust, and incident-reporting mechanisms to address technical problems or harm to users.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 The draft Presidential Regulation on Artificial\nIntelligence (AI) Ethics will use a risk-based approach to classify AI\ntechnologies.<\/p>\n<p>Irma Handayani, head of the Communications and Digital Ministry\u2019s\nteam for regulations, the roadmap, ethics, governance and oversight of\nAI, said the approach divides AI into high-risk, low-risk and\nunacceptable-risk categories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe group them into three categories. In the European Union, we see\nfour, while here we have three: low, high and unacceptable risk,\u201d Irma\nsaid during a discussion at the Peruri Digital Summit 2026 in Jakarta on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n<p>AI with the potential to threaten security and safety will be\nclassified as an unacceptable risk. For the low-risk category, Irma\ncited chatbots commonly used to provide public services, such as\ninformation.<\/p>\n<p>She said different sectors would take different approaches to\nassessing AI risks, with healthcare and agriculture among the\nexamples.<\/p>\n<p>The draft regulation therefore requires each ministry and government\nagency to set its own risk standards. Organisations and companies using\nAI in particular sectors will have to comply with the sector-specific\nrules established for them.<\/p>\n<p>Irma added that the draft regulation also sets out a framework for\nmonitoring and evaluating AI operations. Oversight of AI use will be\nencouraged through self-assessment mechanisms for operators in each\nsector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this, they will measure their level of maturity. It is not\nactually mandatory, but it adds value for them. As they become more\nmature, public trust will also increase,\u201d Irma said.<\/p>\n<p>As an additional safeguard, the regulation will require ministries,\ngovernment agencies and sector operators to provide incident-reporting\nmechanisms to address technical issues and harm experienced by AI\nusers.<\/p>",
