India Keen to Expand AI Pact with Indonesia
One potential area of AI cooperation between India and Indonesia is language technology.
Indian Ambassador to Indonesia Sandeep Chakravorty has expressed India's keenness to expand an artificial intelligence (AI) partnership with Indonesia within the framework of BRICS. The two nations have significant potential to enhance AI cooperation through direct applications that benefit society, Chakravorty said during an exclusive written interview with Antara.
AI is one of the key components of India's chairmanship of BRICS, alongside resilience, cooperation, and sustainability. One potential area for collaboration is language technology, which could help bridge communication gaps between people who speak different languages. The Indian Ambassador noted that Indonesia and India share a vast linguistic diversity, making this collaboration crucial.
To support this effort, universities and researchers from both countries must strengthen partnerships through joint research, particularly in AI. Chakravorty also emphasized the importance of policymakers from both countries boosting knowledge exchange and ensuring responsible AI governance. A Joint Working Group on Digital Technology has been established to review this cooperation sector.
The 18th BRICS Summit, themed "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability," is scheduled to take place in New Delhi, India, on September 12-13, 2026.
