President Joko Widodo orders govt to remove 2 ranks of public servants in bid to cut red tape. FMTNews Jokowi ArtificialIntelligence
JAKARTA: Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Thursday ordered government agencies to remove two ranks of public servants in 2020 and replace their roles with artificial intelligence, in a bid to cut red tape hampering investment.
The president, whose new five-year term began last month after winning an election in April, said Indonesia should transition to higher-end manufacturing, such as electric vehicles and use raw materials like coal and bauxite in such industries, not just exports. To reduce bureaucracy, Widodo said the current top four tiers in government agencies would be flattened to two next year.
Widodo did not provide further details, including any guidance on which specific roles would be removed or how the technology would be used.
