Published: February 17, 2025

Indonesia is making waves in the tech world with ambitious plans to develop its own version of DeepSeek, a Chinese low-cost artificial intelligence (AI) that has been gaining global attention. The country’s move to venture into the realm of AI reflects a significant step towards technological advancement and innovation.

However, as Indonesia gears up to embrace AI technology, the government is also evaluating the potential risks associated with it. Recent reports suggest that the Indonesian government is considering whether to block DeepSeek AI amid growing global concerns and restrictions surrounding the use of this technology.

While AI has the potential to revolutionize various sectors, concerns about privacy, security, and ethical implications have led governments worldwide to reassess the deployment of such technologies.

Indonesia’s burgeoning startup ecosystem has been a focal point in recent years, attracting substantial investments across sectors such as eCommerce, agritech, and fintech. The influx of capital has fueled innovation and entrepreneurship, positioning Indonesia as a key player in the regional tech landscape.
