T
he government is working on the use of big data to leverage Indonesia’s digital transformation and push for data-driven decisions.
Research and Technology Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said his office had developed a national strategy for artificial intelligence development that would serve as an example of the use of big data in the public and private sectors.
The strategy, which was launched in August, aimed at helping economic development and reducing inequality by focusing on the use of AI for health services, bureaucratic reform, education and research, food security and mobility and smart cities, Bambang said.
“We are moving toward using big data, better using artificial intelligence and more importantly for the government, we want the foundations of e-government to be completed by 2024,” Bambang said in a Jakpost Up Close webinar held by The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
