  • UNIKOM, APTISI West Java, Binus University and International Institute of Applied Informatics (IIAI) Collaborate To Hold International Seminar 

    UNIKOM, APTISI West Java, Binus University and International Institute of Applied Informatics (IIAI) Collaborate To Hold International Seminar 

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) again presented an international academic event by holding a seminar entitled “AI, Equity, and Opportunity: Bridging the Digital Divide.” This seminar was held openly for participants from various backgrounds, both offline at the Smart Building on the 17th floor of UNIKOM and online via the Zoom platform. This seminar was the result of UNIKOM’s collaboration with APTISI West Java, Binus University, and the International Institute of Applied Informatics (IIAI). 

    The event presented a number of renowned speakers in the field of artificial intelligence and applied informatics, including: 1) Prof. Tokuro Matsuo, Ph.D – CEO of IIAI and Professor at Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, Tokyo, Japan. 2) Prof. Dr. Eng. Takayuki Ito – Kyoto University, Japan. 3) Prof. Zainal A. Hasibuan, Ph.D – UNIKOM Vice Rector IV for Digital Technology & ICT, International Programs & Center of Excellence. 4) Prof. Yuya Yokoyama, Ph.D – Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, Japan. 5). Prof. Dr. Ir. Ford Lumban Gaol, SMIEEE – Head of Computer Science Doctoral Department, Binus University. The event was hosted by moderator Dr. Salmon Priaji Martana, S.T., M.T., as UNIKOM’s Deputy Director of International Affairs & Cooperation.  

    On this occasion, the Rector of UNIKOM and the Chairperson of APTISI West Java, Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., thanked IIAI, BINUS University, and APTISI for working together in organizing this event. Prof. Eddy also emphasized that “the workshop ‘AI, Equity, and Opportunity-Bridging the Digital Divide’ and artificial intelligence are no longer a distant future; they already here, changing the way we do research, innovate, and expand knowledge. This event is more than just a discussion about AI capabilities. Through this workshop, we aim to bridge the digital divide by equipping researchers, educators, and students with the skills to utilize AI in their academic activities.” Prof. Eddy said. 

    Prof. Dr. Eng. Takayuki Ito from Kyoto University, Japan, discussed online material on how the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is implemented into everyday life. He was also invited to discuss the future of Indonesia. Meanwhile, Prof. Tokuro Matsuo, Ph.D., as CEO of IIAI from Tokyo, Japan, said that “AI systems will continue to learn and learn to provide smarter answers in the future. So, there must be a balance. Sometimes we use LLM and AI, but other times we learn in class; we still have to learn using textbooks and the internet, and sometimes we use LLM and AI to find more information,” said Prof. Tokuro.

    Prof. Yuya Yokoyama, Ph.D., of the Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, Japan, argued that “AI is very useful for life, but at the same time, we must look at the weaknesses; that is, AI can produce something, but we should not trust the results, for example, fake news or fake pictures. There are real figures of people, but their faces are different from other people, and we must assess whether the results are correct or not. Maybe sometimes, but we have to evaluate the content,” said Prof. Yuya.

    The last presentation of material on AI, delivered by Prof. Dr. Ir. Ford Lumban Gaol, the Head of the Doctoral Computer Science Study Program, BINUS University, explained the purpose of AI from his perspective: “AI itself is indeed one of the targets for development for millennial generation friends, especially students; the second is in the context of digital literacy. AI is the key word because there are so many applications or various learning aids that are AI-based; maybe we know the ChatGPT model, which has recently been massively used by students. Today, we bring a bigger context called hyperdemocracy, where people or society can see AI itself in the context of moderating and also taking a consensus from discussions that exist online. Because whatever happens in the world of democracy, everyone has the right, has the desire, and has the freedom to speak,” he concluded.

    This discussion was followed by a question and answer session with the participants guided by the moderator. It is expected that this workshop can become a forum for academics, students, and professionals in understanding the challenges and opportunities in the growing digital era.

  • UNIKOM Management and Law Study Programs hold a Workshop with “Legal Compass: Navigation Business Laws for Entrepreneurs”

    UNIKOM Management and Law Study Programs hold a Workshop with “Legal Compass: Navigation Business Laws for Entrepreneurs”

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The Management and Law Study Programs of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) held a workshop entitled “Legal Compass: Navigation Business Laws for Entrepreneurs” on Thursday, February 13, 2025. The event was held online via the Zoom platform from 08.30 to 13.00 WIB and was attended by 114 students from both the Management and Law Study Programs, as well as other general participants.

    The event was opened with remarks from the Head of the Management Study Program, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeni Dwi Santy, S.E., M.Si., CIMA, who represented the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business, and the Head of the Law Study Program, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sahat Maruli Tua Situmeang, S.H., M.H. In their remarks, they emphasized the importance of understanding business law for entrepreneurs, especially in facing regulatory challenges in the globalization era. The collaboration between the two study programs is a manifestation of cross-disciplinary synergy to support the sustainable development of the business world.

    This workshop presented five expert speakers who discussed crucial issues in business law. One of the highlighted topics was corporate crime. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sahat Maruli Tua Situmeang, S.H., M.H., explained that monopolistic practices, money laundering, tax evasion, and labor exploitation are challenges in the business world. Although there are regulations, the implementation is still weak due to the difficulty of proof. He highlighted the need for strict supervision and strict penalties to prevent these illegal practices from harming many parties.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Happy Ferovina Wuntu, S.H., M.H., discussed the importance of understanding business contracts. She stated that a contract is not just a formality, but a tool to protect the rights of the parties. Before signing a contract, it is important to ensure the identity of the parties, check the contents of the contract, including their respective rights and obligations, and pay attention to the force majeure clause. She also suggested to not hesitate to consult with legal experts if there is any ambiguity.

    Employment issues were also highlighted. Dr. Subagyo Sri Utomo, S.H., M.H., CLI, explained that the welfare of workers in Indonesia is still a major concern, especially for informal sector workers who have not received adequate legal protection. Efforts that can be made include stricter enforcement of regulations against companies, counseling on workers’ rights, and strengthening trade unions as a forum for labor advocacy. 

    Sutarjo, S.H., M.H., discussed the challenges faced by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in facing business competition. Monopolistic and cartel practices are a threat to SMEs. To support SMEs, access to capital, regulations that protect small businesses, and public awareness in choosing local products are needed. If business competition is healthier, not only SMEs benefit, but also consumers who can get more choices at fairer prices.

    Diah Pudjiastuti, S.H., M.H., explained the difference between bankruptcy and insolvency and the role of curators in managing the assets of insolvent debtors. She highlighted that curators often face obstacles, such as lack of cooperation from debtors, difficulties in recording and securing assets, and the risk of criminalization against curators who carry out their duties. Therefore, a more transparent and accountable system is needed in handling bankruptcy.

    This workshop provided a comprehensive insight into the importance of understanding business law for entrepreneurs. The participants are expected to implement the knowledge gained to run a business legally and ethically. The collaboration between the Management Study Program and the Law Study Program shows UNIKOM’s commitment in supporting the development of a sustainable business world through cross-disciplinary synergy. The event was closed with an interactive question and answer session, where participants actively asked questions and shared responses. This workshop is expected to become a regular agenda to improve legal literacy among students and the wider community.
