Asmat Syahputra, digital director at a Jakarta tech firm, shares concerns about AI disrupting traditional roles. “Many workers in manufacturing or service sectors might feel insecure as routine tasks are automated.—we need to focus on more natural transitions.”
Meanwhile, in Surabaya, AI-driven startups are creating new job opportunities. Statistics show a 30% increase in demand for AI-related roles in big cities over the next three years.
The key is adaptability. Job seekers should master hybrid skills combining creativity with technical knowledge. For example, designers might learn to use AI generative tools alongside basic programming skills.
