Bengkulu (ANTARA) - The Regional Representative Council (DPD) of the\nRepublic of Indonesia is partnering with the National Research and\nInnovation Agency (BRIN) and the Indonesian Muslim Scholars Association\n(ICMI) to conduct research and studies aimed at proposing a Bill on\nArtificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a legislative institution, the leadership of the DPD RI feels it\nis necessary to collaborate with research institutions and civil society\norganisations that focus on the formulation of national policy,\u201d said\nthe Chairman of the DPD RI, Sultan Baktiar Najamudin, via an electronic\nstatement received in Bengkulu on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to Sultan, BRIN and ICMI possess the capacity and\nexperience required for evidence-based policy formulation.<\/p>\n
The planned cooperation was announced after Sultan received a visit\nfrom the Head of BRIN, who also serves as the General Chair of ICMI,\nArif Satria, at the DPD RI Office in Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday\n(21\/9).<\/p>\n
The institutional cooperation between the three entities will\nsubsequently be formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding\n(MoU).<\/p>\n
Sultan stated that rapid technological developments and global\ndynamics have created a need for policies that the state cannot yet\nfully address. One such area, he noted, is the advancement of artificial\nintelligence, which has transformed various economic and social patterns\nwithin society.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, together with BRIN and ICMI, we believe the state needs\nto regulate AI so that it does not become a disaster for the nation\u2019s\ncivilisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sultan added that the government needs to pay special attention to\nthe massive development of artificial intelligence, as the technology\nhas brought changes to various societal activities. While AI provides\nconveniences in the workforce and other sectors, he warned that without\nconstitutional control, it could pose a threat and cause social crises\nin the future.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the DPD RI will strive to involve BRIN and\nICMI in every study related to the drafting of Bills initiated by the\ninstitution. According to Sultan, the involvement of research\ninstitutions and civil society organisations is necessary to fulfil the\nprinciple of meaningful participation and to enrich perspectives during\nthe legislative process.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvolving research institutions and civil society organisations is\nnot only to satisfy the principle of meaningful participation, but to\nensure that the DPD RI obtains a more complete scientific perspective in\nevery legislative process that does not conflict with the religious\nvalues and culture of the Indonesian nation,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpd-partners-with-brin-and-icmi-to-prepare-artificial-intelligence-regulations-1790078429", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
