With the rapid development of technology, the need for talent in the\nfield of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly growing across\nvarious sectors. On the other hand, sustainability issues have also\nbecome a primary concern in technological development, including\nartificial intelligence, which is now not only required to be innovative\nbut also responsible towards environmental, social, and ethical\naspects.<\/p>\n
Artificial intelligence also brings impacts across various fields\nsimultaneously, along with disruption. Therefore, mastery of artificial\nintelligence becomes an important provision that must be possessed by\nmany parties in facing the challenges of the current global world.<\/p>\n
According to the Rector of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN),\nAndrey Andoko, artificial intelligence is a new technology that has\nemerged in the midst of society and is developing quite rapidly. Thus,\nyoung talents are needed who can address the challenges of the need for\ncompetent human resources in facing the current industrial world.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstanding of AI does not only focus on technology development,\nbut also emphasises the concept of Sustainable Artificial Intelligence\nthat is sustainable and relevant to industry needs,\u201d stated Andrey\nduring the launch of the Bachelor of AI Study Programme at UMN in\nJakarta on Thursday (9\/4).<\/p>\n
\u201cKnowledge of artificial intelligence is important to be mastered in\ndepth. This way, it can produce experts who can contribute to the\ndevelopment of industrial and business productivity. Not only that, he\nalso hopes that prospective students can contribute and have an impact\non the wider community,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The same sentiment was expressed by the Vice Rector for Academic\nAffairs and Internationalisation at UMN, Friska Natalia, who emphasised\nthat the AI Study Programme at UMN is designed not only to focus on\ntheory, but also on real-world applications that are sustainable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis study programme does not merely study the concepts and theory\nof Artificial Intelligence, but also emphasises Sustainable Artificial\nIntelligence. Where AI technology is used not only because of its\nadvancement and sophistication, but also emphasises responsibility and\nethical codes. With a sustainable AI approach, it is hoped that students\ncan provide sustainable impacts both socially and environmentally on\nsociety,\u201d explained Friska.<\/p>\n
She also outlined the collaboration that has been officially\nestablished for the Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence Study Programme,\nnamely the International Acceleration programme with Chang Gung\nUniversity, Taiwan. This programme not only emphasises learning, but\nalso provides global experience for students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough collaboration with Chang Gung University, Taiwan, students\ncan study for 3 years at UMN + 1 year at Chang Gung University without\nadditional costs and only paying tuition fees at UMN. Through this\nprogramme, students can also add 1 more year at Chang Gung University to\ncomplete a Master\u2019s programme, so that in a total of 5 years, students\ncan obtain Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degrees,\u201d she clarified.<\/p>\n
Officially, this Bachelor of AI Study Programme will open in the odd\nsemester of 2026\/2027, as a strategic step in addressing future\ntechnological challenges. Academically, students will not only have\ncompetencies in the field of AI, but also innovative, sustainable,\ncritical, creative perspectives, as well as in-depth knowledge of human\nneeds in the field of AI.<\/p>\n
At the same venue, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and\nInformatics at UMN, Niki Prastomo, explained that the learning focuses\non mastering AI based on ICT, data analysis, developing AI-based\nsolutions that are applicable in industry, and applying sustainability\nprinciples.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the sustainability side, we also emphasise aspects of\nsustainability such as energy efficiency, social responsibility, and\ntransparency in AI system development, so we prepare graduates who are\nnot only competent but also adaptive to technological changes,\u201d\nexplained Niki.<\/p>\n
The learning in the AI Study Programme at UMN will also focus on\nvarious aspects, starting from project-based learning, internships, and\napplied research with industry, technopreneurship orientation, and\ninternational networking with partner universities related to student\nexchanges to joint research.<\/p>\n
Having a curriculum designed to remain relevant in the future and in\nvarious sectors, from energy, health, to social. Technically, the\ncurriculum will focus on AI foundations, namely Machine Learning, Deep\nLearning, NLP, and Multi-Agent Systems.<\/p>\n
As part of the commitment to providing quality and inclusive\neducation, UMN continues to initiate various programmes for the wider\ncommunity. This time by opening Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), a\nprogramme scheme for recognising students\u2019 learning achievements,\nwhether obtained from formal, non-formal, informal education, or work\nexperience. This RPL applies to the Distance Learning Communication\nScience Programme (PJJIK) and Master\u2019s in Technology Management\n(MMT).<\/p>\n
The opening of this RPL is intended to provide opportunities for the\ncommunity who already have relevant work experience and expertise with\nthe two study programmes at UMN, including PJJIK and MMT. Relevant work\nexperience and expertise can then be recognised with certain courses, so\nthey can complete their studies more quickly with lower costs.<\/p>\n
According to the Rector of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN),\nAndrey Andoko, the presence of RPL provides opportunities for the\ncommunity to obtain higher education for professionals. Designed to\nincrease participation of prospective students, especially those who\nalready have work experience or previous unfinished education\nhistory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith RPL, it is hoped that it can support them in companies in\ncareer development or addressing challenges.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/developing-young-digital-talent-s1-ai-programme-emphasises-sustainable-concepts-1775746266", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
