DF Labs Joins Masyarakat AI Indonesia's First Roundtable on Safe AI Use in Indonesia

Roundtable #1 Soft-Launches Masyarakat AI Indonesia, a Cross-Sector Community for Keeping AI Safe

27 September 2026 – Masyarakat AI Indonesia held Roundtable #1: "Menjajaki Penggunaan AI yang Aman di Indonesia" (Exploring Safe AI Use in Indonesia), a free online discussion on Zoom, on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The roundtable also marked the soft launch of Masyarakat AI Indonesia, a cross-sector community dedicated to keeping AI safe. DF Labs, an Applied AI R&D collective, joined as one of the invited speakers.

As AI spreads into more of daily life, a question becomes more urgent: how do we make sure this technology stays safe, responsible and on the side of people? The roundtable started from the view that AI safety is no longer only a technical issue. It reaches into privacy and the use of personal data, into how we build knowledge, and into social effects that may not yet be fully understood.

Four speakers brought perspectives from research, industry and community: Nabil Muhsin Badjri of Data Science Indonesia and KORIKA; Svaradiva Anurdea Devi of AI Safety Asia; Adif Maulana of Respirahub; and Raihan Ahimsa of DF Labs.

Open to the public, the session invited participants to bring their questions, perspectives and curiosity, bringing experts, researchers and practitioners together to look at AI from a wider angle than technology alone. It was conceived as a place to ask questions, share thinking, and see AI as a matter of public concern rather than of engineering alone.

The organizers closed on the idea that framed the whole discussion: the direction of AI's future will be decided not by the technology itself, but by the human values we choose to keep.

DF Labs welcomed the launch of Masyarakat AI Indonesia and reaffirmed its commitment to taking part in Indonesia's conversation on safe and responsible AI.
