The Indonesian government has formally tabled a draft bill to overhaul its 2014 Copyright Law (Law No. 28 of 2014). Aimed at modernizing copyright rules for the digital economy, the proposed 2026 amendments focus on 4 major areas:
1. Regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The draft introduces a tiered "human-involvement" test for AI-generated output. Works created using AI with sufficient human creative direction will qualify for standard copyright protection. Conversely, autonomously generated works with minimal human input will receive a more limited "related-rights" protection, typically vesting initial ownership in the system’s deployer or commissioner.
2. Expanded Scope of Digital Works
