JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Nezar Patria, emphasized that Indonesia's position as one of the developing countries is actively transforming the principles of ethical and inclusive intelligence (AI) into the framework of concrete regulations.

Speaking in front of ministers and top officials of UNESCO member countries at the Ministerial Session forum, Nezar stated that Indonesia had taken various steps to implement UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI (2021).

"Indonesia has integrated the principles of ethics and inclusiveness of UNESCO AI into making real policies and governance," Nezar said in its official broadcast on Wednesday, June 25.

However, challenges such as regulatory balance, limitations of human resources, and infrastructure inequality still exist. For this reason, Nezar reiterated the importance of cooperation between southern countries to answer common challenges.

"For Indonesia, international cooperation, especially global social, is not only a matter of technology sharing, but the most basic thing is to share the responsibility for ethical and inclusive AI. We must also ensure that none of the countries are left behind in the transformative AI transition," he said.
