What does ethical and responsible AI mean, and why is it important? At the 32nd Digital Transformation Summit held by Exito Media Concepts Pvt Ltd, Our Chief of Technology Muhammad Ghifary had joined the panel “Decoding AI: Unveiling The Path to Technological Singularity.” The panel discussed about the legal, societal, and economic implications of rapid technological advancement driven by AI singularity. Risks such as unemployment, loss of privacy, and misuse of AI must be mitigated as AI continues to evolve. Thus, it is important to build responsible AI governance and ethical decision-making. One example Ghifary mentioned, is how Generative AI embedded in Platform Merdeka Mengajar has supported and emancipated teachers in providing more student-centric teaching. At GovTech Edu, we believe that technology shouldn’t replace humans—it meant to be empowering users to do their jobs more effectively.

Earlier this month, our Head of Tribe Merdeka Mengajar Platform, Ruth Ayu Hapsari, joined the Global Education Leaders’ Partnership (GELP) 2024 panel, Merdeka Belajar: Transforming Indonesia’s Education System. GELP is a fast growing network of education leaders from education systems, institutions, and consultancies who commits to catalyse education innovation and transformation globally. Ruth Ayu highlighted how technology supports Merdeka Belajar, especially through the Platform Merdeka Mengajar (PMM), which integrates insights from Rapor Pendidikan and links teachers to relevant learning modules, fostering growth aligned with students’ needs. Through collaboration with the Ministry, educators, and stakeholders, we aim to make our technology valuable and indispensable, supporting teachers nationwide. Thank you for hosting, Google!
