On January 31, 2025, the Indonesia AI Institute (IAII) once again demonstrated its commitment to driving educational transformation through technology by successfully hosting an “AI Literacy for Teachers” event at SMPN 51 Bandung. This training aimed to enhance teachers’ competencies in understanding and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the learning process.
Through this event, IAII provided comprehensive training to teachers on the basic concepts of AI, its application in education, and how this technology can be leveraged to create more effective, adaptive, and innovative learning experiences. The event began with a registration and opening session, followed by a series of interactive presentations. Participants appeared enthusiastic about each session, ranging from an introduction to AI to hands-on practice using AI-based tools in a learning context.
The material presented was not only theoretical but also practical. The speakers presented various case studies and demonstrations of AI use to support teaching and learning activities, such as the creation of teaching materials, analysis of student needs, and the development of technology-based learning media. Teachers were given the opportunity to discuss, ask questions, and directly try out various AI solutions relevant to their classroom needs.
The principal of SMPN 51 Bandung, Nur Aini, expressed her deep appreciation for this event. She stated that the training provided new insights that were extremely beneficial for the teachers. “The teachers gained new and truly remarkable knowledge. The speakers were also exceptional. We greatly appreciate this event because it provided new knowledge on creating learning materials using AI.”
Through this event, IAII hopes to continue contributing to improving the quality of education in Indonesia, particularly in the utilization of AI technology. Moving forward, IAII is committed to expanding the reach of similar training programs to more educational institutions, so that an increasing number of teachers are prepared to adopt technology in the learning process.
