Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Laju Perkasa Foundation supports the empowerment of women in the digital age through Artificial Intelligence (AI) training entitled “Women are Brave, Empowered and Skilled”, which was attended by participants from various backgrounds in East Jakarta.

Chairperson of the Laju Perkasa Foundation, Hetty Andika Perkasa, said that the AI training was carried out as a form of commitment to Indonesian women in developing their abilities and skills.

“We carry out this activity as a form of our commitment to encouraging women to be more empowered in this digital age,” said Hetty in a statement in Jakarta, Sunday.

In collaboration with FBPWI and ICT Watch, the training began with an explanation of AI material, creating appropriate AI prompts so that the results are in accordance with desired needs, practicing the use of AI features to quizzes to expand AI digital literacy.

The training, held at Balairung Gajah Mada, Kraton Majapahit Jakarta, Cipayung, East Jakarta, Saturday (16/5), was attended by women from various backgrounds, ranging from teenagers, housewives to professionals.

“Through this training, we hope that this training can provide us all with knowledge and inspiration for us to be wiser and more skilled in utilizing AI for positive and productive things,” added Hetty.

Meanwhile, Executive Director of ICT Watch, Indriyatno Banyumurti, said that the AI training which targets women and students is expected to be beneficial.

ICT Watch is one of the pioneers of the digital literacy movement in Indonesia through the Internet Sehat programme initiated since 2002. ICT Watch has developed into one of the drivers of increasing AI-based digital literacy.

“This is a pride for us from ICT Watch to be able to be present among all of you mothers. This is a collaboration that targets, prioritizes learning about artificial intelligence for women in Indonesia,” said Indriyatno.

One of the training participants, Tuti Marwati, admitted that she gained a lot of knowledge from the training, including the importance of parental control over children regarding gadgets and social media content, to creating songs through AI available on the internet.

“Now I understand how to use AI, even being able to create my own songs. For me, that is an extraordinary achievement. There are also things that can be used for work, such as what was conveyed earlier for meeting transcripts, which is very helpful in my work,” said Tuti.
