JAKARTA - In the midst of the widespread use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) technology, the latest research from Lumite and Ipsos found that the Indonesian people were quite aware of the potential dangers.
The survey conducted on 1,000 respondents aged 2165 years in Indonesia saw that people who still do not realize how vulnerable they are to the disinformation produced by AI technology.
In this survey, 75% of respondents believe that AI-made content could affect public political views. Most also feel the content could affect those closest to them (72%), and even themselves (63%).
But interestingly, of the 33% of respondents who felt their political views would not be affected, 42% admitted that they were not sure which original content and which AI created.
In addition, this survey also highlights the differences in the way men and women judge their own abilities. Although in general the belief is almost the same (70% of men and 71% of women claim to be confident enough), only 17% of women feel very confident they can recognize AI content compared to 30% of men.
Responding to this survey, one of the organizations focused on internet governance and digital rights, ICT Watch, also emphasized the importance of community awareness.
