Indonesia aims to adopt a balanced regulatory approach to AI development by combining horizontal and vertical strategies, prioritizing ethical principles while allowing for innovation and investment growth. Deputy Minister Patria suggests integrating AI ethics into development policies to maximize benefits and mitigate risks. The country plans to develop its own generative AI system similar to China's DeepSeek, with National Economic Council chairperson Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan proposing the initiative to position Indonesia as a regional leader in AI technology. To support this, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs has been running digital talent training programs, including the Digital Talent Scholarship, to equip Indonesian professionals with advanced skills and foster knowledge and skills transfer.
