        "content": "<p>The Rector of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia (Unika),\nProf.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0dr. Yuda Turana, emphasised the importance of placing the\ndevelopment of artificial intelligence (AI) within a framework that\ncontinues to uphold human dignity.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that technological progress must go hand in hand with the\nhuman ability to think critically and make wise decisions. \u201cThe impact\nof technology must return to one centre: human dignity. AI must make us\nmore capable, not more dependent. Media must make us more enlightened,\nnot more easily manipulated,\u201d Yuda said in a statement in Jakarta on\nSaturday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the development of AI cannot be viewed solely as\ntechnological progress, but also as a change that affects how humans\nacquire knowledge, communicate, work, and make choices.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice Rector for Innovation, Research, Cooperation, and Alumni at\nUnika Atma Jaya, Prof.\u00a0Rosdiana Sijabat, added that AI has evolved from\nbeing a mere tool to becoming part of a social logic that influences how\nhumans work and interact with information.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rosdiana, this change occurs through processes of\ndatafication, algorithmic curation, generative production, and the\nadaptation of institutions to platform logic. In such conditions, AI\ndoes not only function to process information, but can also influence\nthe information seen by users, shaping preferences and affecting choices\nand decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMediation means AI helps us work. Mediatisation means we begin to\nwork according to the logic of AI,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Chair of the Board of Professors at Unika Atma Jaya,\nProf.\u00a0Laura F. N. Sudarnoto, expressed that the development of AI needs\nto serve as a space for collective reflection for universities. She\nassessed that universities should not only produce graduates capable of\nusing technology, but also have a responsibility to shape individuals\nwho can utilise knowledge and technology critically, wisely, and\nresponsibly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI is not just a matter of technology, but its impact on human life,\ncommunication, ethics, society, and even humanity must also be\nconsidered,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>",
