        "summary": "The Indonesian government plans to integrate artificial intelligence into its flagship free nutritious meal programme (MBG) and other priority initiatives starting in 2026. A draft presidential regulation outlines AI's role in designing regional menus, monitoring kitchen hygiene, and predicting food demand. The broader national AI strategy, developed with input from Meta, IBM, and Microsoft, aims to boost GDP by 12% by 2030.",
        "content": "<p>The administration of Prabowo Subianto is reportedly set to utilise\nartificial intelligence for several key programmes, including the free\nnutritious meal (MBG) initiative. Reuters reported the development,\nciting a draft presidential regulation for AI adoption across ministries\nand regional governments from 2026 to 2029. The goal is to drive\neconomic growth through the development, facilitation, and use of AI,\nparticularly in the president\u2019s priority programmes. The draft notes\nthat AI adoption could increase Gross Domestic Product by 12 percent, or\nUS$366 billion, by 2030. It also states the technology aims to make\nIndonesia more competitive in AI utilisation at both regional and global\nlevels. Major global companies, including Meta, IBM, and Microsoft, were\nreportedly involved in drafting Indonesia\u2019s national AI rules. In 2024,\nMicrosoft announced a US$1.7 billion investment over several years to\nexpand cloud and AI services in the country. According to Reuters, AI\nwill be used for the MBG programme in various ways, ranging from\ndesigning region-specific menus and monitoring kitchen hygiene to\npredicting food demand and detecting irregularities, as well as\nintegrating health data for early emergency warnings. The draft also\nnotes that AI-based automation enables organisations to achieve\nextraordinary efficiency and reduce operational costs. AI technology\nwill also be used to analyse health examinations in the domestic free\nscreening and tuberculosis testing programmes. The draft regulation is\nawaiting Prabowo\u2019s signature, though it is not yet known when it will be\nsigned.<\/p>",
