ndonesia’s digital service governance still lacks specific regulations to guide the responsible implementation of artificial intelligence, according to a joint report by the Communications and Digital Ministry and the United Kingdom.
The AI Policy Dialogue Country Report, released on Monday, pointed out that the enforcement and institutional coordination of the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law and the One Data Initiative remain weak.
The archipelago is also grappling with unequal digital infrastructure, with 57 million people or nearly 20 percent of the population, still lacking reliable internet access.
“Gaps in connectivity continue to create an uneven playing field for AI development,” the report states.
Southeast Asia’s largest digital economy is also facing a digital talent gap, with a need for 9 million additional tech workers by 2030, as previously reported in the jointly published Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) report by the government and UNESCO.
Furthermore, AI innovation in the country’s digital ecosystem remains fragmented across government, academia and the private sector.
“The absence of clear institutional mandates and insufficient government facilitation limits collaboration and slows progress across the AI value chain, from research and development (R&D) to commercialization,” the report notes.
