Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka shared a significant development for Indonesia’s technological future (21/11). He announced that Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, plans to build several schools focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the country. These schools will be established in multiple cities, with Solo being one of the key locations.

This initiative signals a major step forward in improving the nation’s digital infrastructure and ensuring that Indonesia’s youth are equipped to compete in the global AI landscape. Gibran emphasized the importance of Indonesia's young generation taking advantage of these educational opportunities. "We must ensure that the youth are ready to step up and fill these roles. While the government is supporting the development of AI schools, it is up to the younger generation to take part in this transformation," Gibran said in his address.

Nvidia’s decision to establish AI-focused schools aligns with the company’s broader commitment to supporting innovation and technology development in emerging markets. Gibran also recalled that Jensen Huang had visited Indonesia just a week earlier to participate in the “Indonesia AI Day,” where he shared insights about Nvidia’s plans for the country.

For Indonesia, this move presents a unique opportunity to build local expertise in one of the most crucial fields of the future. AI is seen as a key driver of economic growth and technological advancement, and the establishment of these schools will provide the next generation of Indonesians with the skills needed to lead in this rapidly evolving sector.

By investing in AI education, Nvidia is not only contributing to Indonesia's technological growth but also reinforcing the country's position as a growing hub for innovation in Southeast Asia. Gibran’s announcement underscores the government’s focus on preparing the nation’s youth for the digital economy, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive Indonesia’s future success.
