Anchored by Indonesia's digital vision of “Terhubung, Tumbuh, Terjaga”, the initiative aims to advance what the organizers describe as “Meaningful AI”—AI intended not only to support productivity and public services, but also to empower communities and contribute to the development of AI capabilities in Indonesia.

Suyoto, Vice President of the United In Diversity Foundation, said the Bali Harmony Encounter Week brings global and local perspectives together while highlighting spiritual values as an anchor for civilization.

“The Bali Harmony Encounter Weeks with Scholas Congress and Tri Hita Karana Forum bring global and local voices together to reinforce spiritual values as an anchor for civilization. Bali is the ideal setting, where harmony among humanity, nature and spirituality truly thrives,” said Suyoto.

María Paz Jurado, Executive Director of Scholas Occurrentes, said the challenge surrounding AI extends beyond what technology can do to questions about the kind of society and humanity people seek to build alongside it.
