UNM Workshop Equips Students with In-Demand AI Skills

Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM) is bridging the gap between AI theory and industry application by hosting an "AI Workshop: From Basic to Real-World Application." The event aims to equip students with essential skills in artificial intelligence, a field rapidly transforming various sectors.

The workshop, held at UNM's Margonda campus, featured Duwi Cahya Putri Buani, a lecturer and researcher, as the main speaker. It delved into the foundational concepts of AI, its algorithms, and practical implementation for solving real-world industrial problems. This initiative addresses the common challenge where students understand AI theory but struggle to apply it effectively in the job market.

Participants explored the underlying algorithms of AI systems, learning to identify problems, develop programming logic, process data, and create relevant AI-driven solutions. Beyond technical skills, the workshop fostered problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, crucial for technological innovation.

"Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future technology; it is a current necessity," stated Duwi Cahya Putri Buani. She emphasized that AI is a tool for solving real-world issues across sectors, and early understanding of its concepts and implementation significantly boosts career adaptability. Duwi also highlighted the importance of integrating theory with practice, noting that industries seek talent capable of implementing technology into beneficial products and services.

Sukmawati Anggraeni Putri, Head of UNM's Information Systems Program, praised the students' enthusiasm. She affirmed that such workshops are part of UNM's commitment, as a Digital Business Campus, to provide education aligned with global technological advancements.
