INTI 2026 Opens in Jakarta: Indonesia Runs AI in Government Without Signed Rules

Indonesia’s largest annual technology expo, INTI 2026, opened Monday at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran, running through August 13. While two ministerial keynotes set the tone, the central question for attendees is policy timing: the presidential regulation meant to govern Indonesia’s AI deployment remains unsigned. The three-day event—organized by CNG Trade Events and hosted for the first time by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN)—signals a shift from a commercial fair toward formal industrial dialogue. Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya V. Hafid and Industry Minister Dr. Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita are among speakers.
