Jakarta’s AI centre seeks to build skills and secure digital growth
Indonesia has inaugurated a National AI Centre of Excellence in Jakarta in partnership with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, NVIDIA and Cisco. The centre is designed to fast-track the adoption of AI and build digital talent to support Indonesia’s ambitions for its 2045 digital vision.
Deputy Minister Nezar Patria said the initiative will help train one million Indonesians in AI, networking and cybersecurity by 2027. Officials and industry leaders stressed the importance of human capability in maximising AI’s potential.
The centre will also serve as a hub for research and developing practical solutions through collaborations with universities and local communities. Indosat launched a related AI security initiative on the same day, highlighting national ambitions for digital resilience.
Executives at the launch said they hope the centre becomes a national movement that helps position Indonesia as a regional and global AI leader.
