In late August 2026, the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) convened over 2,700 delegates to discuss digital connectivity, cloud computing, and the practical business applications of artificial intelligence. The conference emphasized the need for robust infrastructure and human resources to support the digital economy in the Asia Pacific region.

By early September, the focus in Bali expanded to include the Bali Harmony Encounter Week. This event integrated spiritual principles with technological discourse, specifically addressing the global AI gap. During the Bali Harmony Dialogue, officials urged developing nations to transition from being consumers of technology to becoming “architects in global AI research and governance.”
