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.
