"However, these AI devices are often misused by responsible individuals. Thereby, this seminar is held to tell Jakarta residents not to misuse AI-based digital devices," he expressed, Thursday (6/27).

In line with the theme, he explained the use of AI in everyday life cannot be avoided because it helps and makes everyday work easier, both in school, work, and in the community.

According to him, understanding how to use AI for positive work is very important for Jakarta residents. Therefore, Jakarta residents could create various creative works with positive messages using the power of AI.

"Understanding the ethics of using AI will encourage Jakarta residents to continue to work positively. By so, AI-based works will spread positive messages to everyone and the residents will be protected from using AI in unlawful behavior," he added.

ICT Watch Representative, Alvidha Septianingrum explained this collaboration is expected to have a significant impact on the younger generation to be wise in using AI.

"By studying digital ethics, we can build a safe digital space thereby increasing trust in the responsible use of technology," she uttered.

In line with that, Fitri Handayani said, AI only provides recommendations but users must remain vigilant in using it.

"Thus, it is not eroded and not replaced by technology," she closed.
