Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming societies worldwide, and Indonesia is at a pivotal moment to harness AI’s potential for economic growth, social progress, and improved quality of life.
In less than two decades, Indonesia will celebrate its centenary, 100
years since its independence in 1945. From an agricultural-based
economy to one embracing digital startups, from paying things with
cash to using our mobile phones for payment, Indonesia has accelerated
its technology adoption and acceptance.
This new IBM report, Realising Trustworthy and Inclusive Artificial
Intelligence for Indonesia, captures another step towards ensuring that
AI is developed and deployed in a manner that benefits all segments
of society.
The report examines the landscape of AI in Indonesia, identifying both
the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The report’s authors
underscore the imperative of fostering trust and inclusivity as
foundational principles for accountable, ethical, and responsible
development of AI. Governance is the key to build trust, not just from
government but from all stakeholders in industry.
This report presents insightful and actionable findings. It also provides a
clear roadmap for policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and civil
society to collaborate in building a thriving AI ecosystem with a humancentric
approach that promotes community well-being and societal
values. By working together, government can shape a future where AI,
guided by ethical principles, serves as a powerful force for good—
driving innovation, creating opportunities, and strengthening the fabric
of our society.
