MiiTel, an artificial intelligence system designed to dissect phone conversations in real time, has launched at one of Indonesia's largest airports, marking the first major deployment of call-monitoring technology in Southeast Asia's hospitality sector.

Industry experts say the move could accelerate adoption of similar monitoring tools across Asia, even as regulators in Europe and North America grapple with their ethical implications.
