Jakarta, INTI – Amid growing global attention on artificial intelligence, the Collaboration for Research and Innovation in Artificial Intelligence Industry (KORIKA) participated in the AI Horizons 2025 closed scientific forum held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 16, 2025. This participation marked Indonesia’s increasingly significant role within the global AI ecosystem.
The Indonesian delegation was led by Prof. Hammam Riza (President of KORIKA), Dr. Sri Safitri (Secretary General of KORIKA Partnership and Group Corporate Transformation Leader at Telkom Indonesia), and Prof. Suyanto (Rector of Telkom University), demonstrating Indonesia’s serious commitment to inclusive and sustainable AI research and innovation.
AI Horizons Forum: A Strategic Foresight on AI Research for the Next Decade
AI Horizons is part of the Artificial Intelligence Journey (AIJ) series initiated by the AI Alliance Network. Unlike typical technical forums, this gathering was designed as a strategic foresight platform, bringing together more than 50 top scientists from 15 BRICS+ countries.
The discussions extended beyond technical matters, covering social, ethical, and cultural dimensions of AI. Together, participants identified and formulated the 10 core pillars of global AI research, projected to be the foundation for developing the most disruptive AI technologies over the next decade.
The 10 Pillars of Global AI Research
The ten pillars discussed at AI Horizons 2025 include:
- Machine Learning Algorithms and Architectures
Focused on adaptive and efficient systems, including federated learning applications for remote and underdeveloped regions.
- Future Computing for AI
From quantum computing to edge AI, this presents a major opportunity for Indonesia to build smart infrastructure using local devices.
- Data for AI
Emphasizes the need for ethical and secure data management—aligned with Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP).
- Foundation and Generative Models
Inspired by technologies like ChatGPT and diffusion models, this pillar promotes inclusive, multilingual local AI development.
- Security, Trust, and Explainability
AI must be transparent, fair, and explainable—critical for public services, finance, and national defense.
- Narrow AI for Targeted Solutions
Tailored solutions for key sectors such as agriculture, disaster mitigation, and smart transportation.
- Agent Systems and Decision-Making
Includes collaborative drones and autonomous vehicles that address logistical challenges in archipelagic nations like Indonesia.
- Toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
Encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration between technology and cognitive science via neuro-AI approaches.
- Human-Machine Interaction
Innovations such as brain-computer interfaces and AI for disabilities provide human-centered technological breakthroughs.
- AI and Society
Focuses on AI's impact on education, labor, and social ethics—pushing for widespread digital literacy across all layers of society.
Indonesia’s Role on the Global AI Stage
KORIKA’s participation in this strategic forum is a significant step for Indonesia in aligning national research priorities with global developments. It also serves as a platform for expanding international collaboration, while affirming Indonesia’s readiness to develop fair, inclusive, and contextually relevant AI technologies.
Conclusion
KORIKA’s presence at AI Horizons 2025 in Russia was more than symbolic—it was a tangible move to engage in shaping the future of global artificial intelligence. By contributing to the discussion on the 10 pillars of AI research, Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to harnessing AI not just as a technological force, but as a socially and ethically responsible tool for development.
