JAKARTA - The Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Meutya Hafid, invites students to join AI Talent Factory, the Ministry of Communication and Industry's new program to produce superior generations of artificial intelligence (AI).

Meutya explained, AI Talent Factory does not only focus on printing superior AI talents, but also on preparing digital personnel according to industry needs and national priority programs.

"AI Talent Factory not only produces superior AI talents, but also to prepare digital talents according to industry needs and national priority programs," Meutya said in an official broadcast.

This program targets students at the final level of undergraduate and master in the fields of AI, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as mathematics and natural science (MIPA).

Meutya explained that AI Talent Factory participants will receive guidance from experts and AI practitioners, as well as support for research facilities and cost assistance.

This opportunity is open to all students, not only those who already have technical expertise.

"The important thing is to have a passion for learning, high commitment, and courage to try new things," he said.

AI Talent Factory is also one of the government's efforts to meet the needs of more than 9 million digital talents by 2030.

The presence of AI Talent Factory is expected to be one of the solutions to close the gap as well as prepare students to face competition.
