November 11, Fineko/abcnews. Tech giants Google, Meta, and TikTok have joined forces to oppose Indonesia's proposed revisions to its copyright laws regarding artificial intelligence. The companies warn that strict new mandates on training data could hinder digital innovation and deter foreign technology investments in Southeast Asia's largest economy.

The proposed amendments by Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights would require AI developers to obtain explicit licensing agreements and pay royalties to copyright holders for using their content in training AI models. Representing the tech sector, the Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) argued that these burdensome regulations risk derailing Indonesia’s push toward a $130 billion digital economy by 2030 and reducing its regional competitiveness.
