Komdigi proposes six follow-up areas for AI and music rights at KMI 2026.
What’s happening?
At Konferensi Musik Indonesia in Makassar, Deputy Minister Nezar Patria proposed work on AI-use disclosure and music metadata, data consent and licensing, an interoperable music database pilot, complaints and disputes, AI impact checks, and music-worker literacy.
Why does it matter? / ALUN's view
ALUN's view: these proposals put practical rights and accountability questions on the table for musicians and cultural communities. Their value depends on a published process, responsibilities and accessible remedies.
What does it mean for me?
Institutions
Track whether any agency publishes a concrete process, data standard or pilot before describing one as operational.

Komdigi press release No. 239/HM-KKD/10/2026, paragraphs on the six proposed follow-up areas and complaint mechanism.
About the dates
Speech and ministry statement dated 28 October 2026.
Komdigi is studying a rule for labels on AI-made digital media.
What’s happening?
Komdigi says it is studying a ministerial rule under which AI developers could mark the authenticity of AI-made video and other digital media. The statement discusses provenance and deepfakes; it does not establish an enacted label duty for music.
Why does it matter? / ALUN's view
ALUN's view: provenance can help people tell authentic from synthetic media, but the proposal's scope and its effect on music releases are still unknown.
What does it mean for me?
Institutions
Keep records of media provenance while waiting for actual rule text.
This is ALUN's view, not a recommendation from the source.

Deezer plans an option to hide fully AI-generated music from search by the end of 2026.
What’s happening?
Deezer says a listener-controlled filter will remove tracks it identifies as fully AI-generated, related albums and artists from search results when switched on. The company says it will be available before the end of 2026.
Why does it matter? / ALUN's view
ALUN's view: platform detection and visibility choices may affect discovery. Musicians and distributors should know how a track is classified and how mistakes can be challenged.
What does it mean for me?
Institutions
Distinguish a platform discovery control from rights clearance or legal disclosure.
This is ALUN's view, not a recommendation from the source.

Read the IP consultation alongside the reported cultural-guidance release as different approaches to AI and creative practice, not equivalent legal instruments or evidence of coordination.
ALUN's view
What these updates may mean
Questions to consider, not findings about your institution.
Archives: Check what material an AI service may use and who can give permission.
Programmes: Tell artists and audiences when AI changes how work is made or presented.
Commissioned work: Agree on responsibility, credit and permitted uses before work begins.
Evidence still needed
What is still unclear
The public sources raise these questions. They do not settle them for every institution.
