The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

Bank Indonesia warns that rapid adoption of AI and automation is increasing cyber risks, including data misuse, fraud, and scams. Projected losses from cyberattacks in Indonesia could reach US$6.2 billion (Rp111 trillion) by 2026, prompting calls for stronger digital financial security measures.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The article explicitly links AI and automation to increased cyber risks and financial losses, indicating a plausible pathway to harm. However, it does not report a concrete AI-driven incident causing harm but rather discusses the broader risk landscape and the need for regulatory responses. The financial losses are attributed to cyberattacks in general, with AI as a contributing factor to risk escalation, not a direct cause of a specific incident. Hence, the event fits the definition of an AI Hazard, where AI's development and use could plausibly lead to harm, but no specific AI Incident is described.[AI generated]
