Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia's Ministry of Creative Economy is drafting guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence across the creative economy as the government finalizes a national AI roadmap and AI ethics framework.Creative Economy Minister Teuku Riefky Harsya said on Wednesday the ministry would translate national AI policies into practical implementation across the country's 21 creative economy subsectors once the regulations are enacted.He said the government had issued Presidential Regulation No. 37 of 2026 on the 2026-2045 Creative Economy Master Plan, which covers 21 creative economy subsectors, including emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and Web3.According to Riefky, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs is currently finalizing two presidential regulations on artificial intelligence: a national AI roadmap and an AI ethics framework.”As the sectoral ministry, we will translate the national policy direction into implementation across the 21 creative economy subsectors once the regulations are issued,” Riefky told a press conference at the Government Communication Agency (Bakom) office in Jakarta.He said the ministry would work closely with industry associations, creative communities, and academic institutions to address both the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence.The ministry also plans to develop supporting policies, including guidelines for AI adoption in the creative economy, AI readiness assessments, AI sandbox initiatives, and AI literacy programs for creative economy businesses.Riefky added that the ministry is strengthening collaboration with industry, academia, communities, and businesses to build a sustainable AI ecosystem.At the national level, President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the ministry to prioritize seven creative economy subsectors, including culinary arts, crafts, and fashion, which make significant contributions to the economy.The priority sectors also include games, applications, film, and music, reflecting their rapid growth, particularly among Generation Z and millennials.”In my view, two additional subsectors are also growing rapidly: emerging technologies and digital content. Together with the seven priority sectors, they can become national priorities that contribute significantly to economic growth and job creation,” Riefky said.
