Experts recently examined ASEAN and Indonesia’s strategic priorities in governing emerging technologies, especially on artificial intelligence (AI) governance amid rapid technological change and shifting geopolitical dynamics. The discussion took place during a closed-door roundtable titled “The Evolution of Tech Governance in Southeast Asia: Governing Emerging Technologies in Indonesia”, organized by the Tech for Good Institute (TFGI), in collaboration with the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) on May 12 in Jakarta, ERIA said in a press release.
The round table convened government officials, industry representatives and policy researchers and provided a platform for regional stakeholders to reflect on the evolving technology governance landscape across Southeast Asia.
TFGI program director Citra Nasrudin told the roundtable that governance approaches must evolve alongside technology evolutions.
“Beyond introducing new regulations, it is equally important to understand how institutions make decisions, coordinate implementation, and respond to emerging challenges in practice,” she said.
“Through this roundtable and our ongoing Tech Governance program, we hope to contribute to more informed, practical, and regionally grounded conversations on the future of digital governance.”
