Indonesia's AI Sovereignty Does Not Mean Building All Technology Domestically, Komdigi Explains
Published
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) explains that artificial intelligence (AI) sovereignty in Indonesia does not mean the state must build all AI technologies on its own. This explanation was issued to clarify public understanding of a topic that is currently being widely discussed.
According to the explanation, AI sovereignty is more related to Indonesia's ability to regulate, utilize, and control AI technology in accordance with national interests. In other words, Indonesia can still use technology from abroad, as long as its use takes into account domestic needs and interests.
This understanding is important because AI has begun to be used in various sectors, such as public services, education, and the business world. Therefore, the government needs to ensure that the use of AI proceeds safely, responsibly, and provides benefits to the public.
With this explanation, Komdigi wants the public to understand that AI sovereignty is not only about technology, but also about policy, data management, and human resource capabilities. This topic is expected to continue developing as the use of AI in Indonesia becomes more widespread.
