The Ministry of Communication and Digital and the Ministry of Industry are collaborating to build the foundations for the artificial intelligence ( AI ) industry.
This collaboration is part of the government's mission to drive national economic growth by 8 percent through accelerating digital transformation and adopting AI technology in the industrial sector.
"This is a very good collaboration between two ministries that both focus on developing AI industry infrastructure," said Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Nezar Patria in a press statement.
In a discussion on AI industry development held in Batam City, Nezar emphasized the importance of building the AI industry from upstream to downstream.
"They say that semiconductors are the 'wellspring' for AI development. Well, I think we should pay attention to that as well," he said, referring to industry players.
Therefore, the Ministry of Communication and Digital and the Ministry of Industry are working together to support the strengthening of the semiconductor industry in Batam.
