Indonesia is predicted to need 250.000 AI Specialists for the next five years. This was conveyed by the Director-General of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia, Nizam, at the launch of the artificial intelligence research consortium.

Along with the launch, Nizam also gave his opinion on the development of artificial intelligence in Indonesia. How do you make AI develop rapidly in Indonesia?

To be able to grow and develop, Indonesia cannot rely solely on the industrial world, but it needs collaboration with strategic partners. Apart from relying on the industrial world, the government and academics must step in to support the development of AI in Indonesia.

Therefore, an artificial intelligence research consortium was built to achieve this goal. Through a consortium, Indonesia can prepare AI talents with strong character and global competitiveness. 

AI specialists will fill in various needs in various fields, such as healthcare, food, security, and other industries. Moreover, the adoption of AI in smart cities and other sectors is considered to be very high making it more dependable than before.

All of this is in line with our government target to be in the top 10 of the world’s global economy of 2020 that is stipulated in Indonesia Making 4.0, which aims to prepare Indonesia to enter the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
