Closing the Digital Talent Gap: Young People in Eastern Indonesia Urged to Master AI
Published
The digital talent gap in Indonesia remains a concern, particularly in the eastern part of the country. Calls for young people in this region to master artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly being voiced. Digital skills are considered important so that the younger generation can compete in a job market that continues to change.
Artificial intelligence is now used in many fields, from education and healthcare to trade and public services. For this reason, basic skills in understanding and utilizing AI technology are considered increasingly necessary. For young people in eastern Indonesia, mastering these skills can also open new job opportunities, both in their home regions and beyond.
However, the challenges remain considerable. Access to stable internet, training facilities, and experienced instructors is not yet evenly distributed across all regions. Therefore, collaboration between the government, the education sector, and the private sector is needed to provide training programs that are easily accessible. With such support, the digital divide is expected to narrow.
Overall, mastery of AI and digital skills is an important step in preparing competent human resources in eastern Indonesia. Equal access to learning opportunities will determine how quickly this region can catch up and contribute to the development of the national digital economy.
