Kemkomdigi Mechanism Evaluation To Ensure AI Grows According To Ethics
JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kemkomdigi) has begun to strengthen the governance of national artificial intelligence (AI) by preparing a special evaluation mechanism. The goal is that every innovation in the AI sector continues to run in accordance with the principles of ethics and social responsibility.
The evaluation mechanism is contained in the draft Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (KA) Ethics, which allows incident reporting as well as encourages self-assessment from AI developers.
"Gradually, the evaluation of the application of ethical guidelines will continue to ensure ethical and responsible train ethics governance," said Director of Artificial Intelligence and New Technology Ecosystem of the Ministry of Communication and Industry, Aju Widya Sari, as quoted by ANTARA.

In addition to ethical guidelines, the government is also preparing the White Book of the National AI Roadmap which is designed to go hand in hand with the preparation of these guidelines.
According to Aju, this step is important so that AI development in Indonesia is in line with the development of AI ethics at the global level, as well as strengthening collaboration between stakeholders.
In the draft guidelines, ethical aspects are emphasized as an important basis because the development and utilization of AI can have a direct impact on basic human rights.
The principles raised include inclusiveness, humanity, security, accessibility, transparency, credibility, accountability, personal data protection, environmental sustainability, and intellectual property protection.
The application of AI ethics is believed to provide three main benefits, namely economic sustainability, social and environmental. From an economic perspective, AI has the potential to create innovations while at the same time encouraging growth. For social, ethical AI can expand access to public services to be more equal. As for the environment, this technology can help optimize the use of resources so that it is more efficient and sustainable.
