JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) opened the National Coordination Meeting for Strengthening the BPPT Technology Innovation Ecosystem in 2021. In his speech, Jokowi asked the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) to become the center of Indonesia's technological intelligence.
One of Jokowi's focuses is the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. In fact, he said, competition over AI is the same as the cold war between the United States and the European Union in launching spacecraft.
"We are currently in an era of AI war, competition over AI is the same as space war in the cold war era. Whoever controls AI has the potential to rule the world", Jokowi said in a YouTube broadcast by the Presidential Secretariat, Monday, March 8.
According to Jokowi, Indonesia must also participate in the current AI war. He asked BPPT to synergize the talents of the diaspora, researchers at universities, technology startups, the militant young generation, to build an Indonesian AI machine.
"Build Indonesian AI machines that can facilitate cooperation between innovators and researchers. Facilitate computer and human intelligence to support unconventional and effective national economic recovery", said Jokowi.
Jokowi hopes that BPPT can become an institution that can continue to find new innovative and creative ways and produce real works that are contributive to the progress of the nation.
"I hope that BPPT can become an extraordinary institution, continuing to find new innovative and creative ways, producing real works that are contributive to the progress of the nation", he explained.
