        "summary": "A study by DataOn reveals that over 70% of Indonesian employees are unprepared to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, with fewer than 30% feeling equipped to do so. CEO Gordon Enns highlights the need for reskilling approximately 23 million workers to address AI's impact, emphasising that human resources remain crucial as the foundation of digital infrastructure. He warns that companies failing to prepare their workforce risk falling behind in the shift towards a digital economy, where employees serve as key competitive advantages and business partners.",
        "content": "<p>The widespread technological transformation makes the adoption of\nartificial intelligence (AI) a necessity worldwide. AI is not only used\non an industrial scale but can also be personalised according to company\nneeds.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, based on research conducted by DataOn, more than 70%\nof employees are not ready to adopt AI, and only less than 30% are\nprepared to implement artificial intelligence in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>CEO of DataOn Indonesia, Gordon Enns, stated that the data indicates\nsignificant opportunities in AI adoption and the preparations that can\nbe made. Companies wishing to adopt AI can prepare by enhancing their\nemployees\u2019 capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps around 23 million people will need capability enhancement\n(reskilling) in the coming years due to the impact of AI technology.\nThis must be recognised by company and business leaders in Indonesia, to\ntake it more seriously in preparing (employee capabilities),\u201d said\nGordon Enns at the CNBC Indonesia Tech &amp; Telco Forum 2026 on\nWednesday (6\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He continued that access to AI is already quite high, but\ncapabilities are still lacking because adoption has not been carried out\naggressively. Although AI adoption can be pursued aggressively, Gordon\nbelieves that the role of human resources remains important as the\nfoundation of infrastructure in the digital economy era.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe digital economy is the future, and human resources are equally\nimportant from the infrastructure perspective,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon stated that if Indonesia truly moves towards a digital\neconomy, human resources play a vital role as a competitive advantage.\nEmployees are not merely administrative functions for the company but\nalso business partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf companies do not realise this and do nothing to address it, they\ncould fall and be left behind,\u201d said Gordon.<\/p>",
