AI Governance & Security in Indonesia

Deploy AI governance frameworks for Indonesian enterprises navigating UU PDP, GR 71/2019, and OJK requirements ahead of PDP Agency enforcement.

Indonesia's AI governance landscape is rapidly evolving. UU PDP (Law No. 27 of 2022) imposes fines up to 2% of annual revenue and criminal penalties of up to 6 years imprisonment. The implementing regulation is still being drafted and the PDP Agency is targeted to launch in 2026. KOMDIGI's Circular Letter No. 9/2023 establishes ethical AI principles including transparency, accountability, and human oversight. OJK published Banking AI Governance guidelines in April 2025 requiring human-in-the-loop approaches for high-risk applications. Yet only 24% of Indonesian businesses report having clear AI governance processes, and 55% cite cybersecurity as a barrier, creating urgent demand for structured governance training.

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE

Compliance considerations in Indonesia

UU PDP (Law No. 27/2022) imposes up to 2% annual revenue fines, IDR 5 billion fines, and 6 years imprisonment. The PDP Agency targets 2026 launch. KOMDIGI's Circular Letter No. 9/2023 establishes ethical AI principles. OJK's Banking AI Governance mandates AI Committees and audit trails. GR 71/2019 requires data localisation by March 2026.

CHALLENGES IN INDONESIA

Why organizations in Indonesia need ai governance & security

Regulatory Convergence Creating Complexity

Indonesian businesses must simultaneously navigate UU PDP, GR 71/2019, KOMDIGI's AI ethics circular, and sector-specific regulations like OJK's banking AI governance. Only 24% report having clear AI governance processes.

PDP Agency Launch in 2026

The dedicated Personal Data Protection Agency is targeted to be operational by 2026, bringing enforcement capabilities that currently don't exist. Businesses must build governance frameworks before enforcement begins.

Board-Level Governance Gap

IBM research shows only 24% of Indonesian businesses have clear AI governance processes. OJK now requires internal AI Committees for banks, setting a precedent that may extend to other regulated sectors.

Cybersecurity Integration with AI Governance

55% of Indonesian businesses cite cybersecurity as a barrier to AI adoption. AI governance frameworks must integrate security considerations, especially for businesses handling personal data under UU PDP.
