OVERVIEW

To make “Indonesia 4.0”, the National AI Platform is a platform to provide inclusive public computing services for local enterprises (to reduce initial investment costs), easy to use AI services and technical support, comprehensive improvement of AI literacy, promote the transformation and upgrade traditional industries to a complete industrial chain.

The platform will be embedded with the Tri Hita Karana Awareness-based Compass, which will serve as a guide to explore, design, and implement “Extended Intelligence” principles and the applications in how tech infrastructure can empower: 1) individuals to realign, enhance and protect the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit; 2) communities to elevate the quality of relationship and capacity to cooperate; 3) governments to restore abundant ecosystems and use resources sustainably through the blue and green economy.

The platform can be used by 1) Government agencies and public services for smart agriculture, smart ocean, and smart healthcare; 2) local enterprises for R&D of high-end products; 3) research institutions and universities to include: automatic machine learning, cross media super large-scale model pretraining, digital twins, robotic process automation, autonomous driving and massive translation systems.

In concrete, the platform would consist of deploying AI platform infrastructure of a 2-petaFLOP capacity supercomputer with supporting educational and capacity building services. Initial pilot programs will be in smart agriculture, smart ocean, and smart healthcare.

TARGET

The working group seeks to:

1. expedite securing funding from different sources to support the establishment of the National AI Platform and its infrastructure;
2. ensure the physical infrastructure of the 2-petaFLOPS Supercomputer and its supporting data center are installed in Bali by the time of the G20 leaders’ summit in November 2022;
3. implement Extended Intelligence – the principles and practices of integrating and harmonizing human and machine intelligence for the pursuit of happiness in the digital age.

2. Future Knowledge Prize and Initiatives (IEEE, X-Prize, PILC, AIM)

OVERVIEW

The Government of Indonesia is pursuing to establish a Center for Future Knowledge, where Indonesia would pool the best and brightest minds from the country and globally to exchange ideas and data, to create future proof knowledge, allowing the development of leapfrogged technologies to better utilize natural and social capital to eradicate poverty and close the digital divide.

The Center would provide research and generate knowledge on the future of work, healthcare, land use and ocean, climate, disasters, new material, and green energy. The Center will focus on new and expanded knowledge, derived from the data exchanged of top minds, converted into information and insights. The new knowledge may later become new technologies, applications, materials and economic development opportunities.

TARGET

The working group seeks to:
1. set up the Center for Future Knowledge in Bali by the time of G20 leaders’ summit in November 2022;
2. secure funding from different sources to support the establishment of Center for Future Knowledge and its infrastructure;
3. announce the Future Knowledge Prize and initiatives currently underway with IEEE, X-Prize, PILC, AIM.

3. Digital Ecosystem with Leading Enterprises and Digital Talents of 50,000 Data Scientists

OVERVIEW

Indonesia’s G20 Presidency carries three main topics: strengthening the post-Covid-19 global health architecture, expanding access to technology for utilization of green and affordable energy along with sustainable financing, and optimizing the benefits of inclusive digital technology advancement through promoting digitalization in the business sector.

Indonesia seeks to expedite digital and economic transformation, among others by becoming a hub for leading digital enterprises and investments in R&D in high technology, such as semiconductors, AI application, and future technologies. To create such a digital ecosystem, national and global investors have placed a prerequisite that along with enabling policies, regulations, and incentives, are keys to have a critical mass of data scientists, cloud engineers, and AI engineers.

The Government of Indonesia has set a target to train additional high-quality 50,000 data scientists, who would not only be “technicians” but also be able to pioneer leapfrog technologies.

TARGET

The working group seeks to:

1. expedite setting up and implement the training of 50,000 data scientists centered physically in or virtually to Bali as a start of a self-sustaining program;
2. secure funding to support the training of 50,000 data scientists with quality to pioneer leapfrog information technologies and computer engineering;
3. connect the 50,000 data scientists trained with the job market, business incubation facility and venture capitals.
