The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) is encouraging a 3P approach, which stands for policy, platform, and people, to address the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
Nezar Patria, the Deputy Minister of Kominfo, explained the meaning of the 3P approach as follows:
1. Policy:
AI regulations should be beneficial for all stakeholders.
They should serve as the foundation for affirmative actions, such as closing the digital divide and facilitating AI technology transfer.
Policies should reflect future projections regarding the safe, secure, and robust use of AI.
2. Platform:
Discussions on AI safety should be conducted on inclusive multilateral platforms, enabling all stakeholders to openly express their concerns.
