AI Content Is Now Essential: AICO Releases Responsible Guide for Indonesia's Educators
AI isn't a side project anymore. It's baked into how content gets made-ideas, scripts, hyper-realistic video, and distribution. In Indonesia, this shift is obvious, and it's pushing new expectations for how we teach media, research, and digital skills.
To help, the Artificial Intelligence Community of Indonesia (AICO) has released a practical guide for responsible AI content creation. It's built around real user habits and the gaps that still exist in digital literacy.
Why this matters for schools and universities
AICO notes that AI is spreading fast, but many people still don't know how these systems work-or where they fall short. That gap invites misuse, accidental or otherwise.
As AICO Co-Founder Tommy Teja puts it, "Creators who do not adapt are at risk of being left behind. AI can reduce production costs, speed up the work process, and allow for more creative brand integration." The catch: people need the right foundation to use it well.
What AICO's guide offers
The guide, titled How to Make AI Content, focuses on responsible use-what AI does well, where it fails, and how to apply it without crossing ethical lines. It's meant to bridge the gap between AI users and the broader public who consume AI-made content.
Translations in English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and French were generated by AI. Because of that, there may be issues in phrasing or accuracy. Treat Indonesian as the primary reference.
Practical steps for educators
- Set a clear AI policy for your classes: what's allowed, what needs citation, and what requires disclosure.
- Require students to note which tools they used and how (prompts included). Keep a short audit trail.
- Teach a fact-check loop: generate, verify with trusted sources, revise, and cite.
- Discuss bias: who trained the model, on what data, and who might be misrepresented or excluded.
- Address privacy: no uploading sensitive student data, protected texts, or unpublished research.
- Clarify copyright: check licenses for images, music, and datasets. Attribute where needed.
- Cover deepfakes and consent: no synthetic media of real people without permission.
- Set grade boundaries: AI can help with drafts and outlines, but core thinking must be the student's.
- Multilingual caveat: if using auto-translation, compare outputs with a native source before publishing.
- Accessibility: use AI to provide alternatives (summaries, captions, language support) that help more learners participate.
Suggested classroom uses that add value
- Brainstorming and lesson outlines: speed up planning; you still own the final curation.
- Rubrics and feedback starters: generate structured criteria and comment drafts, then personalize.
- Synthetic examples and practice sets: build low-stakes exercises aligned to your objectives.
- Language support: translate drafts or simplify reading-while checking meaning against the source.
- Storyboard and visual planning: create quick mockups for projects and presentations.
- LMS housekeeping: draft announcements, schedules, and summaries to save time for real teaching.
Teach the limits-clearly
- AI can be confidently wrong. Require source checks, especially for facts, quotes, and statistics.
- Detection tools are unreliable. Focus assessment on process, citations, and oral defense of work.
- Algorithms reward volume and similarity. Talk about echo chambers and why originality matters.

Bottom line
AI content is here, and it's scaling fast. With clear rules, transparent workflows, and a focus on critical thinking, educators can turn this shift into a learning advantage-without compromising ethics or quality.
