PANDI Prepares AI SIRT to Handle AI Misuse Complaints
Pengelola Nama Domain Internet Indonesia (PANDI) said on October 2–3, 2026 it will stand up an AI Security Incident Response Team (AI SIRT) to take complaints, share mitigation guidance and route reports of AI misuse, working with ID-CERT under ITB senior scientist Budi Rahardjo. Chair Isnawan Aslam framed the unit as part of a broader shift from .id registry operations toward digital resilience, alongside Analitik.id, a planned DNS-log analytics platform for domain reputation, health and security scores. Both initiatives grew from Pokja IDRI recommendations presented at Bidakara in Jakarta.
Filed under Security and dated October 3, 2026, this AI4Indonesia briefing treats AI SIRT as Indonesian AI-incident governance news distinct from yesterday’s Kemendagri expansion of AI bansos verification to 258 regions. The move arrives while Komdigi’s presidential roadmap and ethics drafts still await signature, so civil incident pathways may mature before national rules do.
Why it matters: generative misuse already hits consumers through scams, deepfakes and abusive bots, yet Indonesia has lacked a visible AI-focused reporting desk. A registry-led SIRT can lower that friction—but only if intake SLAs, privacy handling and escalation to law enforcement stay explicit.
What it means in practice
Indonesian platform, bank and counsel leads should inventory which AI abuse queues could forward to PANDI’s forthcoming desk; demand named owners for complainant privacy and evidence retention; assign an owner for how reports intersect Komdigi’s presidential AI roadmap and ethics drafts; run time-boxed reviews of agentic controls already flagged in officials’ hard human-control warnings on agentic AI; and prefer contracts that keep humans on takedown and disclosure decisions.
Caveats come first. Announcements precede staffing tables; DNS analytics are not content moderation; and SIRT advice is not a court order. AI4Indonesia therefore presents the initiative as directional security context until intake channels open publicly.
What to watch next: public complaint URLs and hours; MOUs with BSSN or Komdigi; and whether Analitik.id pilots publish sample reputation scores for .id holders. Readers can continue on the AI4Indonesia homepage, or browse the Newsroom for additional briefings.
Bottom line: treat this update as orientation, not instruction. Indonesian AI safety response is moving from ad-hoc helplines into a named SIRT and remains early. Organizations that benefit most will demand intake evidence, keep humans on escalation gates, and refuse to confuse a registry announcement with finished nationwide coverage.
