Jakarta, INTI – Four Indonesian students proudly brought home four medals from the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) 2025 held in Beijing, China, from August 2 to 9, 2025. This remarkable achievement includes three silver medals and one bronze medal, raising Indonesia’s profile on the international stage. The prestigious competition was joined by participants from more than 70 countries and challenged them to develop critical thinking, algorithmic skills, and AI-based problem-solving abilities.
Indonesia’s Achievement at the AI Olympiad 2025
The four medal-winning Indonesian students are Faiz Rizki Ramadhan from Islamic High School Insan Cendekia Serpong, Matthew Hutama Pramana from Senior High School Kolese Loyola Semarang, Luvidi Pranawa Alghari from unior High School Pribadi Depok, and Jayden Jurianto from BPK Penabur High School Jakarta. Their success not only highlights academic excellence but also practical skills in applying artificial intelligence to real-world challenges in today’s digital era.
In IOAI 2025, participants were given a simulation to control a multifunctional humanoid robot named Galbot, tasked with managing and organizing a factory warehouse. The challenge tested the participants’ ability to develop innovative algorithms, make real-time decisions, and solve problems using AI technology. The competition demanded creativity, data analysis, and deep strategic thinking, making the Indonesian students’ achievement a truly proud moment.
Government Response
Maria Veronica Irene Herdjiono, Head of the National Achievement Center (Puspresnas) at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), expressed that this accomplishment is a great source of pride. It adds to Indonesia’s record of success in international science and technology olympiads. In recent years, Indonesia has increasingly demonstrated the capability of its young generation to compete in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), particularly in artificial intelligence and robotics. Participation in IOAI also opens opportunities for students to build networks with peers from other countries, learn best practices, and prepare themselves for future global technological challenges.
Moreover, this achievement is expected to inspire schools and educational institutions across Indonesia to continue supporting student talent development in technology through extracurricular programs, intensive training, and access to adequate technological facilities. This aligns with the government’s efforts to strengthen the national digital ecosystem and enhance the competitiveness of Indonesia’s younger generation on the global stage.
Conclusion
The success of four Indonesian students at IOAI 2025 proves that the potential of Indonesia’s young generation in artificial intelligence is tremendous. With proper guidance and sufficient facilities, Indonesia can compete with developed nations in the technology field. Moving forward, it is crucial for the government, schools, and society to keep encouraging the development of young talent in technology so that Indonesia will not only be a user of technology, but also a creator of innovations that contribute meaningfully to national development and the digital economy.
