Key point
UGM, Indosat, and NVIDIA have collaborated to establish Indonesia's first university-based AI technology center to secure AI sovereignty and cultivate local talent.
Details
The Indonesian government, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat), NVIDIA, and Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) have collaborated to open the UGM Indosat NVIDIA AI Technology Center (NVAITC), Indonesia's first university-based AI technology center, in Yogyakarta. This center aims to secure Indonesia's AI sovereignty and cultivate local talent to solve national challenges.
Researchers and students will receive enterprise-grade accelerated computing, AI software, pre-trained models, and technical mentoring through NVIDIA's full-stack AI platform and Indosat's GPU-as-a-service platform, GPU Merdeka. This enables Indonesian researchers to connect with the global AI ecosystem and accelerate innovation.
The center will drive projects focused on three core areas:
- Healthcare: Enhancing healthcare accessibility by developing eNose-TB, an AI-based electronic nose technology that screens for tuberculosis (TB) by analyzing breath samples.
- Agriculture: Implementing precision agriculture through SmartAgri, a multimodal AI technology that combines satellite imagery and sensor data.
- Natural Disaster Response: Strengthening disaster response capabilities considering Indonesia's geographical characteristics as a country located on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
