\n <\/a><\/p>\nThe bill also\u00a0requires\u00a0tech platforms to pay compensation for aggregating, republishing or link-previewing news content, as well as using it for AI training. The compensation\u00a0would go\u00a0to state-supervised collective management organisations, which would distribute\u00a0the funds\u00a0to news publishers.<\/p>\n
The rules would apply to a variety of content including video games, photography, computer programs, journalism and films.<\/p>\n
AI-assisted works would qualify for copyright protection only if they\u00a0met\u00a0human involvement criteria, while fully AI-generated works\u00a0would be excluded. The draft did not say how much human involvement was needed to qualify for protection.<\/p>\n
The use of copyrighted works to train AI models would also be subject to fair-use provisions or licensing agreements, the draft said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ari Juliano Gema, an IP and entertainment lawyer, said\u00a0Indonesia’s bill might trigger concern among tech companies as it appeared to conflate commercial use of AI with its use for research.<\/p>\n
Tech giants such as Google,\u00a0which issued a statement last month criticising the copyright overhaul, could face sanctions if they do not comply with the bill’s provisions,\u00a0including having their local business permits revoked.<\/p>\n
“Rigid, overbroad mandates, however, would harm local creators, slow innovation, and leave\u00a0Indonesia\u00a0as an international outlier, ultimately discouraging the investment needed to drive its digital future,” Google said in its statement,\u00a0adding it would engage with the government on the bill.<\/p>\n
Meta and TikTok did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the proposals. Meta’s Instagram and Facebook platforms are popular among\u00a0Indonesians.<\/p>\n
Hermansyah\u00a0said AI regulation was a global issue, citing\u00a0an ongoing court case led by the New York Times, one of many brought by copyright owners against tech companies for alleged misuse of their material \u200bto train AI systems.<\/p>\n
The draft was not final and the government was seeking further input, Hermansyah\u00a0added.<\/p>\n
Indonesia’s AI disclosure requirements mirror transparency rules emerging elsewhere.<\/p>\n
The European Union AI Act\u00a0requires companies to clearly label where AI has been used to generate or modify images, video or audio content\u00a0“constituting a deepfake”, though it carves out exemptions for certain artistic or satirical works.<\/p>\n
AI is not explicitly mentioned in US or Singapore copyright statutes, but their copyright offices have said copyright protection requires human contribution.<\/p>\n
Indonesia’s proposals come as the country pushes for the wider adoption of AI and as the government moves\u00a0to embed AI\u00a0in key programmes.<\/p>\n
On Thursday,\u00a0Indonesia\u00a0was among 29 countries that signed an agreement in\u00a0Shanghai\u00a0to establish \u200can intergovernmental body China says will promote cooperation and global \u200bgovernance of AI.<\/p>\n
China’s President Xi Jinping\u00a0has outlined a vision for a new global AI order\u00a0in which China would share its open-source AI technology and expertise with countries across the developing world.<\/p>\n
Xi also called for AI systems to remain under human control and urged countries to establish early-warning and emergency-response mechanisms to manage AI risks, stressing the importance of human oversight and control.<\/p>\n
