The Indonesian Constitutional Court has ruled that a provision in the country's election law regarding "self-image" is unconstitutional. The court found that the phrase, which allows candidates to use photographs or images of themselves, can be misinterpreted and exploited by using artificial intelligence (AI) to create manipulated photos. This could lead to false information being spread to voters, undermining their ability to make informed decisions. As a result, the court has struck down the provision, citing concerns that excessive image manipulation through AI can damage democracy.
