On February 13, 2020 We hosted a discussion panel in our AI research lab PLaiGROUND at ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology).
The theme is “AI for Indonesia: The Hope and Challenges”. The event is to help advance AI for Indonesia in an impactful way by learning from our panelists who are from diverse professional backgrounds and experiences in AI. The international panel represents government (Bappenas Expert Advisor to the Minister), academia (Business and Technology Professors from ITB, The Head of Carnegie Mellon University – Australia, AI Practitioner and Instructor from NUS) and business (The Head of AI Research at Bukalapak). The moderator is none other than our CEO, Krishna Ariadi Pribadi.
The discussions were lively, addressing strategic, ethical, policy and practical aspects of AI for Indonesia. A few discussion highlights from the panelists are:
Use AI wisely and responsibly to help Indonesia leap forward; Identify inefficiency and pain points to apply AI for quick wins; Leverage Indonesia’s strength such as diversity and scale; Solve Indonesia problems that are unique and will not be solved by other country; Leverage data for policy and decision making with Government Intelligence (similar to Business Intelligence); Address data responsibility and bias upfront.
