YOGYAKARTA | INDATANEWS.COM - Indonesia's Ministry of Manpower is using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to support the verification process for the National Internship Program through the MagangHub platform. The technology helps the Ministry of Manpower examine information on participating companies and interns, including assessing the plausibility of reported participant numbers and identifying registration patterns that require further review.
The use of AI is part of the Ministry of Manpower's efforts to strengthen oversight of the National Internship Program, which involves numerous companies, internship opportunities, and participants. By processing available information, the technology can assist relevant officials in identifying certain patterns that may be difficult to detect through manual data checks alone.Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Cris Kuntadi said that the use of AI in verifying participating companies helps the ministry identify connections among corporate groups while also assessing whether the number of internship positions proposed by companies is reasonable.
Cris explained that the Ministry of Manpower uses AI to examine connections among several companies registered as partners in the internship program. The analysis also covers the companies' capacities and whether these capacities correspond with the number of internship positions they have proposed.
"We use AI to check whether there are corporate groups controlled by a single operator, how the companies' financial standing can be assessed, and whether the proposed number of participants remains reasonable in relation to the company's capacity," Cris said while monitoring the National Internship Program at the De Djokja Malioboro Hotel in Yogyakarta on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.According to Cris, the analysis can provide an initial overview of the participating companies' circumstances before the Ministry of Manpower conducts further examinations. This enables relevant officials to examine more closely information indicating certain patterns or possible discrepancies between the submitted data and the actual capacity of a company.
The technology also supports the Ministry of Manpower in processing the large volume of data generated through the National Internship Program. Information concerning companies, participant numbers, internship opportunities, and applicants must be systematically examined so that verification can be carried out in accordance with established procedures.In addition to analyzing connections among corporate groups, AI can also support the assessment of participating companies' profiles. This information is subsequently incorporated into the examination materials used by the Ministry of Manpower when monitoring organizers or companies involved in the internship program.
Cris explained that AI analysis can help the Ministry of Manpower identify concentrations of participants at particular companies, the regions from which participants originate, and the relationship between their fields of study and their selected internship positions.
"In participant selection, AI also helps us identify unusual patterns. For example, participants at a particular company may disproportionately come from graduates of a certain university, predominantly come from regions outside the company's location, or have fields of study that do not correspond with the internship positions being offered," Cris said.Such patterns do not automatically serve as a basis for determining that a violation has occurred in the registration process. Instead, the Ministry of Manpower uses the analytical findings as an initial source of information to identify data or situations that require further examination.
This approach is important because the National Internship Program brings together numerous companies with participants from different regions and educational backgrounds. The diversity of the data makes technological support necessary so that the available information can be analyzed more comprehensively.Through the use of AI, the Ministry of Manpower can identify relationships and trends emerging from extensive data on participants and internship opportunities. The findings can then help relevant officials determine which areas require particular attention during subsequent verification procedures.
The results of AI analysis subsequently form part of the information that may be used for further examination in accordance with applicable procedures. In this way, decisions within the verification process remain subject to the established examination stages.
The use of AI also reflects the Ministry of Manpower's efforts to adapt its monitoring processes to developments in digital technology. Processing large volumes of data requires systems capable of helping officials identify patterns more quickly and systematically.The Ministry of Manpower regards the technology as a supporting instrument to help ensure that the National Internship Program is implemented in accordance with applicable regulations. Technological analysis still requires examination and assessment by the relevant authorities so that the identified information can be interpreted within the proper context.
The use of AI in MagangHub is therefore intended to strengthen the Ministry of Manpower's ability to verify companies and participants involved in the National Internship Program. The technology helps identify relevant patterns, while the actual verification process continues to be conducted in accordance with procedures applicable within the Ministry of Manpower.
