Indonesia’s government is advancing a proposed rewrite of its copyright law that would introduce new obligations for digital platforms, including those used for news aggregation and artificial intelligence-related training. Reporting from multiple outlets says the bill would require platforms to compensate news publishers when they aggregate or republish content, display link previews, or otherwise use publishers’ material.
The proposal also places “AI platforms” and major online services on notice, tying compliance to how copyrighted content is used for AI training and related purposes. The changes reflect broader international debates over how copyright rules apply to search engines, content aggregators, and AI systems.
While details may vary by draft and future amendments, the core thrust described by the outlets is that platform behavior involving protected news content would trigger payment responsibilities to rights holders. The bill’s progression through Indonesia’s legislative process would determine its final scope, enforcement mechanisms, and timelines.
