Indonesia Has a Strong Opportunity to Enter the Global AI Map
Indonesia is gaining increasing attention as a potential leader in the global artificial intelligence (AI) sector. According to Zoho Corporation, a multifaceted technology company, Indonesia possesses unique advantages for entering the global AI arena. One of Indonesia’s main assets is its demographic dividend—an abundance of young and productive citizens. This demographic surge is expected to peak between 2030 and 2045, with most of the population being of working age. It is this youth that can lead the country to the forefront of AI development.
Shailesh Kumar Davey, CEO of Zoho Corporation, emphasized that the race for AI leadership has only just begun, and countries developing in this area have equal chances with those already advanced. This opens great opportunities for Indonesia if it can leverage its human capital correctly. However, there are challenges: digital security needs to be strengthened. Rajesh Ganesan, CEO of ManageEngine, highlighted the importance of using AI to counteract growing cyber threats.
In a context where technology plays an increasingly crucial role in the economy, Indonesia’s capabilities in developing AI and ensuring its safe use can provide the country with a significant advantage in the global future economy. This requires investments in education and technology, as well as ensuring top-level cybersecurity to effectively counter new threats. Only then can Indonesia confidently enter the global AI arena and become a reliable player in this rapidly evolving field.
