The development of technology is widespread among people. Starting from gadgets, and everyday tools, to the development of human assistive devices such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI technology can be said to have a very rapid development. This frequently makes people uneasy and afraid of being replaced by artificial intelligence.
However, this statement was refuted by Prof. Stella Christie, Ph.D. in the second International Conference on Education (ICEdu) forum held by the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) and the Faculty of Islamic Religion, University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), this October. According to him, artificial intelligence will not be able to replace humans. "From my research, artificial intelligence is actually no smarter than a two-year-old baby," he said.
Stella said that artificial intelligence should not be feared. Humans will not be replaced by artificial intelligence in education, work, or other fields. Since, artificial intelligence definitely needs humans to help it continue to develop.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that AI must also be implemented in the world of education. Mainly in an effort to help students develop to keep up with the times. Likewise, by increasing students' abilities and competitive spirit so that they can be empowered in the real world. So, Stella thinks technology has an important role in education.
In its second year, the international event discussed in detail about empowerment and educational excellence. Practitioners, lecturers, and researchers from various fields in Indonesia attended.
On the other hand, another speaker Associate Prof. Dr. Zulnaidi Yaacob gave his thoughts to respond to the increasingly sophisticated technology, especially in the world of work. According to him, entrepreneurial ecosystems must also exist in universities. This can train students and enhance their ability to face the industrial world.
Industry, technology and education should be collaborated into a structure that builds on each other. For example, by incorporating entrepreneurial values into the learning curriculum for every student. This is what is commonly called a catalyst curriculum. It is a curriculum that is transformed from theory into a more applicable system. Students are taught to implement what they have learned in college so that they are more honed and ready to enter the world of work.
"It can also be an empowering education. That is, it can improve the level of education of students and college students and reduce the educational skills gap," he added.
Similarly, it has also been implemented by UMM, namely running education that provides students with skills that are in accordance with industry needs. The process occurs through the Center of Excellence (CoE). Students are not only provided with material, students are also provided with specific abilities to support them in the world of work.
Students are expected to know more about the world and be ready to compete and collaborate with technology. Since, the more advanced technology will encourage people to continue to develop with the times. If you don't keep up with the times, people can be left behind and find it difficult to enter the global world. (tri/wil/fajr)
