(20 Aug 2026) The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly and impacting various aspects of life, including the academic sphere. To address these developments and provide guidance on the responsible use of AI, the Library of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) released the latest episode of its podcast titled “Utilizing AI as a Learning Companion: With AI, Exploring Knowledge and Building Smarter Learning Experiences” on the ITS Library’s official YouTube channel on Thursday (August 20, 2026).
Hosted by Maulidina Tri Andini, S.IP., the discussion featured Inka Novita Dinia, S.Si., an ITS librarian stationed at the Dr. Angka Corner and an instructor for the AI literacy class. In her presentation, Inka emphasized that AI should be viewed as a learning companion or assistant, not as a final decision-maker, let alone a replacement for lecturers or librarians. The main advantages of AI lie in its flexibility and 24/7 availability, making it an alternative tool for discussion, brainstorming, and clarifying complex concepts outside of campus operating hours.
