Indonesia and Switzerland Develop Sovereign AI, Batam Prepared to Become a Technology Hub
Published
Indonesia and Switzerland are collaborating to develop sovereign AI, namely artificial intelligence managed domestically to safeguard digital data sovereignty. The cooperation involves Nongsa Digital Park in Batam and a Swiss company named PHOENIQS AG.
Through this cooperation, Batam is being prepared to become a digital technology hub. Nongsa Digital Park is one of the main locations in the project. The government and related parties want to ensure that digital data remains under national control, so that it does not depend entirely on services from abroad.
Sovereign AI has become an increasingly important topic in many countries. With a technology hub in Batam, Indonesia hopes to strengthen its capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence and open new opportunities for the digital industry. Further information regarding the stages and targets of this project has not been explained in detail in the report.
The Indonesia-Switzerland cooperation demonstrates both countries' efforts to build secure and independent technology infrastructure. The development of this project will continue to be monitored by the public and technology industry players.
