Indonesia sovereign AI programme

A part of the programme. The programme record joins the National AI Roadmap, drafted by the communications ministry (Komdigi), and a sovereign AI fund planned for Danantara. This Komdigi activity is the only AI-named line in the state budget documents read: it funds the ministry's AI and new-technology ecosystem work (the ministry's 2025 performance report, p. 115, describes the roadmap's drafting under its 'Pemanfaatan Teknologi Baru di Sektor Prioritas' work), so it covers part of the programme and also non-AI 'new technologies', and it funds nothing at Danantara. The figure is the activity's 2025 allocation (Rupiah Murni and non-tax revenue) printed in the ministry's programme summary; no document read gives its spending.

In a budget estimate: the AI and new-technology ecosystem activity’s 24.8 billion IDR 2025 allocation, January 2025 to December 2025. Printed as “24.775.994.000”.
