Navigating Uncharted Waters - Indonesia’s PDP Law and AI Regulation

This webinar takes place from 3pm to 4:10pm (Singapore time) on Thursday, 27 March 2025.

Overview

With the grace period for Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDP law) expiring in October 2024, businesses face real compliance consequences. Yet, significant challenges remain. As of early December 2024, the anticipated Data Protection Authority (DPA) has not yet been established, and the law’s draft implementing regulations are still pending.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is beginning to explore laws governing AI, adding another layer of complexity for companies navigating the regulatory environment.

The Asian Business Law Institute returns to examine the digital regulatory landscape in Indonesia following successful sessions in the past. This session is expected to cover, among others:

• New developments concerning the PDP law, including expectations for the DPA and the implementing regulations, and criminal cases being processed under the PDP law;
• How businesses can navigate the PDP law amid the uncertainties mentioned and respond quickly when new developments take place; and
• An overview of existing AI regulations in Indonesia and what to expect going forward

Is this webinar accredited for continuing professional development (CPD) points for Singapore-admitted lawyers?

This webinar has been accredited for 1 public CPD point. Attendees who wish to claim CPD points are reminded to provide their AAS numbers or other number issued by the Singapore Institute of Legal Education (SILE) during registration. You are required to strictly follow the attendance policy of SILE before CPD points can be awarded. Please refer to www.sileCPDcentre.sg for more information.

I am qualified in a jurisdiction other than Singapore. Will attending this webinar entitle me to claim relevant CPD-equivalent points in my own jurisdiction?

The answer to this question depends on the rules of the relevant governing body in your jurisdiction. In the past, we have issued letters of attendance accompanied by actual Zoom log-in records to assist non-Singapore-qualified attendees to claim their professional learning points. Therefore, if a letter of attendance and a Zoom record are all you need, we will be able to help. Likewise, we have issued the same set of documents to professionals other than lawyers who may also have such continuing education requirements.

However, if the rules of your jurisdiction require an event to be accredited, we regret that this session will not entitle you to claim points outside of Singapore.

I am a member of the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), and would like to use my SAL credit dollars to sign for the webinar. How do I do so?
