Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has launched its newest innovation to strengthen digital protection for the Indonesian public.

Partnering with Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi), Indosat introduced an AI-powered Anti-Spam and Anti-Scam feature designed to protect users from the increasing threat of digital fraud.

The Rising Threat of Digital Scams in Indonesia

The Asia Scam Report 2024 by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) states that 65% of Indonesians face scam attempts weekly.

These range from phishing text messages, fake job offers, to fraudulent investment schemes, highlighting the urgent need for inclusive and stronger digital protection.

How Indosat’s AI-Powered Anti-Spam and Anti-Scam Feature Works

The Anti-Spam and Anti-Scam system functions automatically and in real-time by detecting suspicious senders or callers, filtering threats, and alerting users.

Built on Indosat’s Aivolusi5G technology, a combination of AI and 5G network, it processes threats directly on the network, making the feature accessible without requiring advanced devices or premium connections.

Vikram Sinha, President Director and CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, stated:

“Indosat believes that digital protection is a fundamental right for every Indonesian. Our collaboration with Tanla in developing this AI-powered Anti-Spam and Anti-Scam solution proves that technology can safeguard daily digital lives. Built on Indosat’s Sovereign AI Factory supported by the most advanced NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, this solution enhances Indonesia’s ability to combat spam and scam in real-time, strengthening national digital resilience and fostering public trust in the digital world.”

Strategic Partnerships and Government Support

The launch was carried out in collaboration with technology partner Tanla and supported by global partners including Mastercard, GSMA, and GASA. Together, they address the challenges of spam and scams in Indonesia.

The innovation highlights the important role of corporate initiatives in fighting fraud and ensuring safer digital access not only in Indonesia but across the Asia Pacific region.

Nezar Patria, Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Economy of Indonesia, said:

“The government welcomes Indosat’s collaborative initiative as part of a collective effort to build a safer digital space. AI must bring technology closer to the people and open up greater opportunities for societal growth. Indonesia aims not only to be a technology consumer but also a key driver shaping AI use aligned with real community needs.”

Indosat’s Vision for an Inclusive Digital Future

This innovation is part of Indosat’s transformation into an AI-TechCo, committed to offering safe, modern, and inclusive solutions.

Through the campaign “AI for Everyone,” Indosat ensures AI technology is accessible and beneficial for all Indonesians.

This launch aligns with Indosat’s goal to empower Indonesia through advanced digital solutions.
