 UK Artificial Intelligence (AI) organisations e-flyer - 

A delegation of eight UK Artificial Intelligence (AI) organisations will be in Jakarta on 25-27 September 2023 for the first UK AI Mission to Indonesia. The delegation includes representatives from the Alan Turing Institute—the UK’s leading national institute for AI and Data Science.

The mission focuses on understanding the latest policy developments in AI connecting experts from government, industry and academia and sharing knowledge and best practice across the tech community to help realise the UK’s and Indonesia’s shared ambition of establishing an inclusive digital ecosystem.

According to a released received by Voice of Indonesia on Thursday, the delegation will meet with a number of Indonesian interlocutors including the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), GoTo, and the Indonesia AI Society.

This mission follows the second UK - Indonesia Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) meeting in July this year, where
both countries agreed to deepen collaboration in digital economy. It also comes ahead of the UK’s first AI Safety Summit on 1-2 November 2023 in London.

As home to some of the best research institutions in the world, and one of the top three in the Global AI Index 2022, the UK has globally-recognised capabilities in AI-related disciplines.

The eight organisations taking part in this mission represent a range of expertise including education & training, health-tech, and defence.

By fostering partnerships with their Indonesian counterparts, both in research capacity and tech commercialisation, the delegation is keen to identify areas where they can work together in harnessing the power of AI for the good of society.

“Enhancing our cooperation in the digital space is a key element under the UK-Indonesia Partnership Roadmap. The UK has world-renowned AI expertise, and a rich history in this field. I have been fortunate enough to meet some of the organisations that make up the flourishing AI ecosystem here in Indonesia too. Our visiting UK AI delegation demonstrates our commitment to partnering with Indonesia to realise the digital potential in both countries, and to working together to ensure the safe and responsible development of AI on the global stage", British Chargé d'Affaires ad interim to Indonesia and Timor Leste, Matt Downing, said//VOI
