The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Driving Indonesia's Digital Economy
The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has the potential to boost Indonesia's digital economy by up to USD 366 billion or approximately Rp 5,820 trillion in the future. Mira Tayyiba, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Communication and Information, reveals that Indonesia has a tech-savvy and youthful population. In line with this trend, Indonesia's digital economy continues to experience significant growth.
"Indonesia's digital economy has surged from USD 41 billion in 2019 to USD 77 billion in 2022," stated Mira in Jakarta on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.
To drive the growth of Indonesia's digital economy, the government has taken strategic measures, including investments in digital infrastructure development, enhancing digital literacy among the public, and harnessing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. According to a Kearney report, the utilization of artificial intelligence is projected to make a substantial contribution to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
"The use of AI is expected to contribute approximately USD 366 billion to Indonesia's GDP by 2023," as per Mira.
Indonesia is entering an era increasingly dominated by digital and emerging technologies. The Indonesian government has formulated the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the period 2020-2045 to anticipate these developments. This document emphasizes the importance of ethical AI development and implementation, along with transparent, accountable, and fair AI-related policies.
"AI systems must be designed to be transparent in decision-making, accountable for their actions, and fair in their treatment of various societal groups," remarked Mira.
"Indonesia is committed to harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and digital governance to promote inclusive, empowering, and sustainable digital growth. International cooperation is also recognized as essential in achieving these goals."
