According to Tutuka, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be one of the quick solutions to support the oil and gas industry, especially increasing the discovery of oil and gas data.

By using big data, we will have more opportunities to make better decisions in a shorter time. In addition, AI is also inclusive so it can be modified and Absorbed to other models. This is also an important thing. AI is a solution in the future," he added.
