Prabowo: AI & Nuclear Tech Need Vigilance

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is urging vigilance over developments in artificial intelligence. He spoke at a science and technology convention, highlighting that technology is not always positive for humanity, citing nuclear technology as an example. He noted that almost every country is pursuing AI and mentioned reports of five million AI agents interacting in their own chat rooms using a code language. President Subianto called on experts to study these developments and their implications. This framing of AI alongside nuclear technology signals a growing focus on AI as a national security and societal risk. This increased political attention can lead to new reporting requirements and calls for academic study, even without immediate policy changes.
