"In Indonesia itself, we have the largest AI user base, with 162 million monthly AI users," said Google Indonesia Country Director Veronica Utami while presenting the "e-Conomy SEA 2026".
According to him, users in Indonesia annually create around 69 billion queries in the form of questions or commands for AI.
However, the use of AI in Indonesia is generally considered to be still in its early stages, only to support daily needs, and has not yet reached the level of in-depth utilization to support productivity.
In its annual economic report for the Southeast Asia region, Google introduced a unit of measurement for digital economic activity called a token.
Veronica explains that the token indicates how complex the level of computation that the AI must perform to answer or perform the task given by the user.
Token usage in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, is still considered low, at only 10 percent compared to usage in the United States and Europe.
