In an increasingly digital world, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and redefining geopolitical landscapes. This is particularly evident in Indonesia, where AI initiatives are driving innovation in various sectors, from fishing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

A striking example of this is the work of Japanese advertising agency, Dentsu. As reported by Nikkei Asia, Dentsu is leveraging AI technology to enhance the quality grading of tuna in Indonesia, one of the world’s top tuna-catching nations. The technology promises to eliminate the subjective nature of current grading techniques, which are often compared to an art form due to their lack of standardization.

Simultaneously, Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade is making strides in supporting SMEs through AI integration. According to Borneo Bulletin, the ministry has launched the Gemini Academy, an initiative designed to bolster the global competitiveness of Indonesian SMEs by helping them leverage AI.

However, as AI continues to permeate various aspects of society, concerns about ethical standards and governance are rising. Some nations are advocating for ethical AI, including Indonesia. As reported by Pakistan Point, the nation is pushing for AI systems that support human needs and values, rather than undermining them.
