Right now, there are pretty clear changes in the process of job recruitment. According to the speaker, the recruitment process goes faster, where it used to take years now it only takes a month. BPS Data shows that the fresh graduate trend is increasing from year to year, therefore fresh graduates need to realize that the competition in the workforce is very high. 

The selection process is also different in every company, but generally the selection process starts from cv screening, followed by a psychotest, then LGD or FGD, interview, and medical check up. Now that the recruitment process is done online, the once complex and long process is shorter and cheaper to go through.  read more

To explain AI in a simple way, Usman makes an analogy with AI as humans. Humans get data from various sensors, namely the five senses, in their bodies. Furthermore, the data will be sent to the brain to be studied. Today, there is a huge amount of digital data known as Big Data. The digital data is then processed and categorized by an “artificial brain” called machine learning and deep learning. Later, the categorization produces conclusions that can make the machine take a decision or action. “Artificial intelligence is a series, starting from obtaining, processing, collecting data, to drawing conclusions,” Usman explained. read more

To open the discussion, the moderator said that the class will be divided into two sessions; lecture and the question and answer session. The first session which was the lecture was given by Nila Ardhianie where she talked about the basic function of water. Generally, water is a vital resource for human life because it is important for our body’s metabolism and the development of a city. The importance of water in a human’s life is equal to that of food. In this regard, both resources are important to fulfill human’s biological need, economical commodity, or cultural strength.  The difference is that food is decentralized, locally grown, and is a part of the individual’s initiative. Meanwhile, water is organized by big bureaucrats, technical control, action and collective intervention in a system of centralized decision making.  read more
