Why it matters
The widespread adoption of AI is expected to catalyze productivity and unlock hundreds of billions of dollars in economic value for Indonesia. However, the use of automated decision-making in consumer lending risks entrenching socio-economic bias, and generative AI tools pose risks like voice-cloning scams and IP theft.
