THE NEW NAVIGATION OF EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) LECTURERS IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Education in the digital era is undergoing many changes, including the important role of lecturers in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia has taken an important step by presenting the first AI lecturer in Indonesia. The implementation of AI lecturers offers opportunities to improve the efficiency and quality of education while creating a more inclusive environment. However, ethical and legal challenges also arise, including the protection of personal data, the rights and obligations of lecturers and students, and education quality assurance. This research focuses on "The New Navigation of Education: Opportunities and Challenges for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lecturers in Indonesia" in the context of Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0, where digital technology, including AI, plays a key role. The research method used is normative research or library research. This research uses several approaches in its analysis: conceptual, analytical, historical, and futuristic approaches. This research has a descriptive and prescriptive nature. This research uses content analysis to interpret and understand the text and communication media collected. The result of this research is that it is important to develop specific regulations and codes of conduct, as well as provide AI ethics education and effective reporting mechanisms. Periodic evaluation and review should be conducted to ensure the relevance and effectiveness of the regulations and code of conduct. The implementation of AI lecturers in Indonesia has the potential to open new opportunities in educational transformation if managed wisely with an integrated, sustainable approach and involving various stakeholders. Thus, Indonesia has the potential to become a leader in the utilisation of AI in education by combining technological innovation with a commitment to the quality of education and the protection of all parties rights.
