Abstract

This study examines the paradoxical nature of Indonesia's governance of mobile artificial intelligence (AI), where regulatory discourse promises ethical protection yet simultaneously produces new forms of social exposure. Through qualitative analysis of key policy documents, ethics guidelines, and stakeholder commentary, this research investigates how state, industry, and academic actors frame the promises and risks of mobile-AI systems. The analysis is guided by communication rights theory, the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT), and communication ecology perspectives. It identifies three dominant patterns: first, Indonesia’s governance relies heavily on aspirational yet non-binding soft-law instruments, limiting accountability; second, national and industrial narratives predominantly position AI as an engine for economic growth under the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision, often obscuring structural risks like algorithmic bias and data exploitation; and third, regulatory frameworks tend to overlook vulnerable groups—including low-wage workers, women, and rural communities—whose mobile communication practices are disproportionately exposed to harm. The article argues that Indonesia's current approach creates a critical gap between policy intent and lived experience. It concludes that a stronger, communication-rights-based regulatory framework is essential to ensure equitable and accountable mobile-AI futures in Indonesian society.

Abstract

This article presents the findings of a phenomenological inquiry exploring the life experiences of inmates in the Tangerang Women’s Correctional Facility in using coded language to maintain secrecy, power, and solidarity. Contrary to the traditional view of prisons as static institutions, this study conceptualizes the prison environment as a networked micro-society where language functions as the primary infrastructure for social cohesion. Utilizing Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of embodiment and Foucault’s analysis of disciplinary power, data are collected through in-depth interviews with ten inmates and five correctional officers. The study discovered communication patterns where inmates actively used coded language to survive, thrive, and maintain social cohesion within the correctional facility. The study also identified specific warning systems, such as a coded greeting that function as counter-surveillance tactics to maintain women’s autonomy in prison, against internal and external control. Furthermore, power is revealed to be negotiated rather than absolute, mediated through inmate team leaders using numerical codes to disclose the high-level authority. By using this coded language, inmates create a strong sense of community and support, turning the sadness of being locked up into a shared strength. This study proves that prison coded language is more than just a way to hide secrets. It is how inmates hold onto their dignity, maintain solidarity, and keep peace in a place where they have no power. The study concludes that secrecy, power, and solidarity are deeply intertwined in prison life. Further study should expand this phenomenology and explore other’s correctional facilities to compare.
