Indonesia monitors ChatGPT service

Jakarta
(VNA) - Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) is
monitoring the ChatGPT service developed by OpenAI, a United States-based
artificial intelligence (AI) research company, which operates in the country,
Antara news agency reported.
ChatGPT is a generative AI
capable of examining large amounts of data to generate answers to various
questions through prompt commands.
Kominfo director general for applications
and informatic Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan said on February 23 that his agency
will see whether ChatGPT has entered the Indonesian market or not.
If they target the Indonesian
market, the agency will ask them to register for the electronic system operator
(PSE) license, he said.
If ChatGPT falls into
the six PSE categories, it is mandatory to register in line with the government’s
regulation relating to the implementation of electronic systems and transactions
and the Kominfor Ministers’regulation concerning private PSE.
In early February, OpenAI
announced the paid version of ChatGPT dubbed ChatGPT Plus with the subscription
package being offered at 20 USD per month./.
