In an official statement on Thursday, she noted that President Prabowo Subianto had emphasized the need for concrete action and faster execution of programs across all ministries and government agencies.
“The President has once again reminded us that we need to speed up our work,” she said during the ministry’s leadership meeting in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The government is currently finalizing an AI roadmap for Indonesia, which will serve as a guiding document for building an inclusive and responsible AI ecosystem.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs has coordinated with 39 ministries and agencies to align perspectives in drafting the roadmap. The initiative is expected to enhance inter-agency collaboration in developing both human resources and the broader AI ecosystem.
Five priority sectors have been identified for AI development: healthcare, digital talent education, bureaucratic reform, smart city development, and food security. These areas were chosen to ensure that digital transformation promotes equity and public welfare.
Beyond AI, Minister Hafid also stressed the importance of improved coordination and systematic reporting across all levels of the ministry.
She emphasized that collaborative leadership will be essential in fostering a more dynamic, efficient, and future-ready government.
