UGM, Indosat, and NVIDIA Inaugurate Indonesia's First University-Based AI Technology Center
Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and NVIDIA, has just inaugurated the first university-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology center in Indonesia. This facility is located on the UGM campus in Yogyakarta and aims to accelerate the development of digital technology in the country.
The technology center is equipped with advanced computing infrastructure from NVIDIA. The presence of this technology is expected to support researchers, lecturers, and students in conducting deeper research in the field of AI. Furthermore, this facility will serve as a training ground for young Indonesian talent, preparing them to face the challenges of the future job market.
This collaboration is a strategic step to strengthen the national digital ecosystem. With this AI center, Indonesia is expected to not only become a user of technology but also be capable of creating AI-based innovations that are relevant to local needs. The main development focus includes the education, healthcare, and digital economy sectors.
Moving forward, UGM and its partners plan to open access for other academic communities to utilize this facility. This step is expected to encourage cross-university collaboration in creating technological solutions that benefit the wider community in Indonesia.
This inauguration marks an important milestone in Indonesia's digital transformation efforts. With the support of global technology and high-quality human resources, Indonesia now has a stronger foundation to compete in the development of AI technology at the international level.
