JAKARTA - IBM's latest research found that Indonesian companies invest in artificial intelligence (AI) in the long term, and have a high interest in open-source to encourage ROI (return on investment) and innovation.

"Along with the wider implementation of AI, many companies are now focusing their metric on increasing productivity," said Maribel Lopez of Lopez Research in a statement quoted Monday, February 10.

The study, which involved more than 2,400 IT decision makers worldwide, showed that 85 percent of respondents reported progress in implementing AI strategies in 2024, and 47 percent had managed to achieve positive ROI from their AI investments.

The data also shows that the use of open-source devices for AI solutions has the potential to provide more promising financial prospects.

Where 51 percent of companies using the open-source AI app reported positive ROI, compared to only 41 percent of companies that did not use open-source devices.

Meanwhile, specifically in Indonesia, 48 percent of respondents stated that they would increase their AI investment by 2025, while 57 percent planned to take advantage of the open-source ecosystem to optimize AI implementation.

Globally, among companies that have not used open-source, 2 out of 5 have stated that they plan to start using open-source for AI implementation by 2025.

They are increasingly aware of the importance of defining the right AI implementation, optimizing AI projects, and leveraging hybrid and open-source cloud strategies to encourage AI innovation, as well as increasing financial benefits, Lopez added.
