Indonesia’s AI copyright push opens new front in war over digital content

Indonesia is revising its copyright law to address the use of copyrighted works by artificial intelligence systems and digital platforms. This initiative, led by the House of Representatives, aims to determine compensation for content creators when their work is utilized by AI. A key aspect of the proposed amendments is defining the level of human involvement required for AI-assisted output to receive copyright protection. Lawmakers are continuing deliberations on the draft bill, which seeks to update the existing 2014 copyright law, despite the current parliamentary recess. The revisions are part of a broader global debate on intellectual property in the digital age.
