BANDUNG, UNIKOM – In accelerating digital transformation based on artificial intelligence (AI), Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) held a Workshop Experience: “Accelerating the Transformation to Artificial Intelligence Ready Campus” on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at the 17th floor Auditorium. This activity is part of the institution’s strategic steps in strengthening the acceleration towards becoming a World Class University, which is the result of strategic collaboration between the Vice Rector IV for Digital Technology & ICT, International Programs & Center of Excellence, Deputy Vice Rector IV, INFRANET Directorate, PTDSI Directorate, and the Eduplus Team.
The Google AI training was divided into two sessions. The first session was intended for lecturers, focusing on strengthening the use of AI in the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), particularly in research. Meanwhile, the second session was attended by UNIKOM educational staff and was aimed at optimizing AI to support the efficiency of administration and academic services.
In his opening remarks, Vice Rector IV for Digital Technology & ICT, International Programs & Center of Excellence, Prof. Zainal Arifin Hasibuan, Ph.D., emphasized that achieving World Class University status cannot be realize individually, but rather through the collective efforts from entire academic community. “The transformation towards an AI Ready Campus is a strategic leap that requires a change in mindset from a traditional approach to a smart technology-based work system,” said Prof. Zainal.
Furthermore, Prof. Zainal stated that AI not only functions as a tool, but also as an enabler that significantly accelerates academic and administrative processes. He also reminded the importance of mastering technology so that the academic community does not become passive users, but rather capable of controlling the technology.
In the first session, Deputy Vice Rector IV, Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, S.Kom., M.T., Ph.D., delivered training material on the use of Gemini AI by introducing the concept of prompt AI and its various features. The lecturers practiced using Gemini to compile examples of community service projects and real case-based research. The activity continued with material presented by the second speaker, Director of PTDSI, Irfan Dwiguna Sumitra, S.Kom., M.Kom., Ph.D., who presented optimizing NotebookLM as an artificial intelligence assistant for research learning in higher education and the use of Google Workspace features to support digital collaboration, document management, and work system integration in the campus environment.
In the second session, in addition to receiving training material on the use of Gemini AI by introducing the concept of AI prompts and various outstanding features from the same speaker, the staff was given the task of creating sample official letters using AI templates tailored to the work needs of each unit, so that the use of technology became contextual and applicable.
As a form of evaluation and learning reflection, several selected lecturers and educational staff were given the opportunity to briefly present the results of the training tasks they had completed in front of other participants. The presentations featured various examples of research projects, community service designs, and AI-based letter formats that had been adjusted to the needs of the work units. The evaluation session not only showed the participants’ level of understanding but also became a space for sharing practices and inspiration for AI implementation within UNIKOM.
Through AI training with a practice-based approach, intensive mentoring, and the integration of real cases in each session, UNIKOM is committed to building an AI Ready Campus ecosystem that is not only adaptive to global technological developments but also capable of producing competitive academic innovations at the international level.
