Impact of AI photo manipulation: DKI restricts access to uploading reports on JAKI

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo stated that his administration will restrict access to uploading reports on the Jakarta Kini (JAKI) app due to a case of manipulating PPSU work reports using artificial intelligence (AI) in Kalisari, Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta.

“Only those who actually handle (the complaints) may upload. We are improving the system to make it more transparent,” Pramono said after attending the 2026 Town Hall Meeting at the Grand Theatre of Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday.

Pramono assessed that the incident of residents’ complaints being followed up with AI-generated photos tarnishes public services in Jakarta and must not recur.

To that end, he reminded all officers to work genuinely, not merely to produce reports to please superiors.

“It must no longer be just about pleasing the leadership, but real work in the field,” Pramono said.

In this case, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has issued sanctions to three PPSU officers with first warning letters (SP1).

Pramono admitted to having met directly with the three officers and giving them a stern warning.

“So there are three people who have received SP1, warning letters, and earlier I met each of them personally. And I conveyed that this is their last chance if they still want to work in DKI Jakarta,” Pramono revealed.

He emphasised that if similar violations occur again, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will impose stricter sanctions.
