        "summary": "Telkom's Executive General Manager of Digital Product argues that whilst artificial intelligence will displace some roles, it will ultimately create more jobs than it eliminates, with the real disruption coming not from AI technology itself but from workers who master AI replacing those who do not. The company emphasises that individuals most vulnerable to displacement are those unwilling to adapt and lacking AI competency, positioning upskilling and AI tool proficiency as essential for career relevance.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The concern that artificial intelligence will replace human\nworkers across various industrial sectors has become a matter of debate.\nHowever, PT Telkom Indonesia Tbk believes such worries require a more\ncomprehensive perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Komang Budi Aryasa, Executive General Manager of Digital Product at\nTelkom Indonesia, asserts that the wave of AI-driven disruption will\nactually create far more new job opportunities than jobs lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo compared with jobs that are disrupted, many more new jobs are\ncreated. We also predict the same pattern in the AI world,\u201d he stated\nduring Telkom\u2019s Business Update in Jakarta on Monday, 2 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Komang emphasised that the narrative of AI replacing humans is not\nentirely accurate. According to him, what is actually occurring is a\nshift in required competencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not AI replacing people. We will be replaced by people who are\nsmarter at mastering AI than we are,\u201d said Komang.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that individuals most vulnerable to disruption are those\nunwilling to adapt and lacking mastery of AI technology. Consequently,\nenhancing capability becomes the key to remaining relevant in the job\nmarket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who will be disrupted are those who do not master AI,\u201d he\nstressed.<\/p>\n<p>Telkom encourages society, including professionals across various\nfields, to actively learn and utilise available AI tools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur effort moving forward must involve learning AI. We must learn to\nenhance our capabilities with the AI tools that exist. So do not remain\nidle,\u201d said Komang.<\/p>\n<p>He cited the example of journalists, who also need to adapt to\ntechnological developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, in journalism, people also need to learn the AI tools\nthat now exist,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Komang acknowledged that repetitive or routine work does have the\npotential to be replaced by automated systems and AI. This phenomenon,\nhe noted, has long occurred in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen repetitive, routine work is replaced by AI, just as has already\nhappened in factories with robots,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, he views this condition as an opportunity to advance into\nmore strategic roles with greater added value.<\/p>\n<p>By mastering AI tools, workers are seen as capable of contributing to\nother industries or taking on new roles that previously did not\nexist.<\/p>\n<p>Komang summarised Telkom\u2019s perspective in two key points. First,\nalthough some jobs will be replaced, AI is believed to create more new\ntypes of jobs overall. Second, the actual threat comes not from the\ntechnology itself, but from people who master AI and will replace those\nwho do not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not AI replacing us, but people who master AI who will replace\nus,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
