The opportunities were discussed during a meeting between Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Nezar Patria, and the Ambassador of Slovakia to Indonesia, Tomas Ferko, in Jakarta on Friday.
"We realize there is a gap in AI development between the Global North and South. We do not only want to become a user but to become a significant developer," Patria said in a statement issued by his ministry.
The GPAI Summit will be held from November 25 to 26, 2025.
Indonesia, which is in the process of acceding to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has been invited to participate in the forum.
Patria said that Slovakia is among the pioneers in the development of the OECD AI principles, which now serve as a global reference.
"This collaboration is very important for Indonesia, which is currently finalizing the national AI regulation," he added.
Based on the Circular Letter of the Minister of Communication and Informatics Number 9 of 2023 concerning Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Indonesia has prepared a National AI Road Map and a draft presidential regulation on the development and utilization of AI.
"Now, we are really interested in the AI policymaking process because there is no ideal benchmark that can be met by all countries because every country has its own needs and problems," he said.
The alliance with Slovakia is also expected to provide opportunities for mutual learning about AI regulation.
Cooperation between the two countries regarding AI will also include expert exchanges, strengthening human resource capacity, and broader strategic cooperation in the digital sector.
