The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand rapidly and is increasingly being integrated into various sectors, including education. In response to this development, Primakara University organized a training session on the utilization of AI as a learning tool for students of SMK Dwijendra Denpasar on March 9, 2026, as part of its commitment to enhancing technological literacy among the younger generation. The session was delivered by Ida Bagus Kresna Sudiatmika, S.Kom., M.T., a lecturer at Primakara University, who provided valuable insights into the role of AI in transforming modern learning methods. During the training, students were introduced to the fundamental concepts of AI and how these technologies can be applied to support a more effective, creative, and interactive learning experience. Participants were also exposed to various practical examples of AI applications that can assist in generating ideas, processing and organizing information, and supporting the creation of engaging learning content. These demonstrations helped students understand how AI tools can be integrated into their daily study activities to improve productivity and learning outcomes.

The session was conducted in an interactive manner, encouraging active participation through discussions and hands-on exploration of AI tools. This approach allowed students to not only gain theoretical knowledge but also develop practical skills in utilizing technology responsibly. Through this activity, students are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the potential of AI technology and how it can be used effectively to support their learning in the digital era. Moreover, the program emphasizes the importance of using technology wisely, fostering critical thinking, and maintaining ethical awareness in its application. Primakara University continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting education through innovation and collaboration. By organizing initiatives such as this, the university aims to contribute to the development of a more adaptive, forward-thinking, and technology-driven generation prepared to face future challenges.
