        "summary": "Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid told a press conference in Jakarta on 7 October that Indonesia supports building security and ethical safeguards into AI from the outset, though not necessarily slowing innovation. She warned that deploying advanced AI without adequate mitigation could worsen digital threats and societal harms, amid growing global concern over cyber weapons, disinformation and the AI alignment problem. The statement signals Indonesia's push to shape a prudent, responsible approach to AI development on the international stage.",
        "content": "<p>Speaking at a press conference at her office in Jakarta on Wednesday\n(October 7), Meutya emphasized that developing sophisticated AI models\nrequires adequate time to ensure that security and ethical measures are\nbuilt in from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia certainly agrees - not necessarily with slowing down AI\nitself, but with the need to implement \u2018safety by design\u2019 for AI more\ncautiously, a process that inevitably takes time,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>She clarified that Indonesia is not calling for an absolute halt or\nslowdown of technological innovation, but rather urging global\ndevelopers to conduct the process with greater prudence and\nresponsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe emphasize the need for an appropriate amount of time when dealing\nwith such sophisticated new technology. It should not be pursued without\nsufficient mitigation processes,\u201d Meutya added, noting that deploying\nadvanced AI without adequate safeguards risks exacerbating digital\nthreats and societal harms.<\/p>\n<p>The minister\u2019s remarks come amidst an ongoing debate within the\nglobal tech sector regarding the risks associated with rapid AI\nadvancement.<\/p>\n<p>Industry leaders and ethicists have increasingly warned of severe\nthreats, including the automated creation of cyber weapons, mass\ndisinformation campaigns and guidance on assembling hazardous\nmaterials.<\/p>\n<p>Experts have also raised concerns over the alignment problem, where\nhighly autonomous AI systems operating without strict human value\nalignment could act unpredictably or beyond developer control.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia\u2019s AI regulation to boost innovation, ethical\nstandards<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Minister asks graduates to help drive human-centered AI\ndevelopment<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Farhan Arda Nugraha, Yashinta Difa<\/p>",
