“Academic Collaboration: Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, DBA., Ph.D. and Two Indonesian Scholars Launch a Groundbreaking Book on Education in the AI Era”

Jakarta, – The academic world in Indonesia is once again enriched by an exciting breakthrough through the collaboration of three brilliant minds in education and technology. Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, DBA., Ph.D., together with two renowned academics, Ade Irmayanti, S.Kom., MMSI., and Robin Saputra, S.Pi., M.Si., have officially completed their book titled “Self-Taught vs. College: Who Excels in the AI Era?”. This book provides a critical reflection on the educational paradigm in a digital age increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence (AI).

With diverse perspectives offered by the three authors, this book aims to answer fundamental questions about the effectiveness of formal education (college) and independent learning (self-taught) in the face of technological advancements. Is an academic degree still relevant in today’s global competition? Or is the self-taught approach a more efficient and flexible solution? All these questions are comprehensively discussed in this book, which will soon be published by CV Global Kreatif Media.

A Collaboration of Three Thinkers: Synergy of Knowledge and Experience

This collaboration brings together three scholars with different academic backgrounds and expertise that complement each other. Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, a distinguished professor and expert in business and management, brings extensive experience in both academia and industry. With his expertise in strategic management, he provides insights on how industries should prepare for technological changes.

On the other hand, Ade Irmayanti, S.Kom., MMSI., a specialist in information technology, makes a significant contribution in discussing how AI and digital transformation are reshaping the way humans learn and work. With her background in information systems, she explains the role of technology in supporting both formal education and self-learning.

Meanwhile, Robin Saputra, S.Pi., M.Si., an academic and researcher in social sciences, adds perspectives on the social and psychological impacts of different learning methods. Using data-driven analysis, he explores how both education pathways affect an individual’s readiness to enter an increasingly competitive workforce and industry.

Book Content: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities in Education During the AI Era

The book “Self-Taught vs. College: Who Excels in the AI Era?” is structured into several chapters that systematically discuss crucial aspects of modern education. Key topics covered include:

  • A comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of formal education (college) and self-learning in the AI era.
  • How AI and digital technology are changing the way we learn and access information.
  • Essential skills needed in the digital age and the best ways to develop them.
  • The social, economic, and psychological impact of self-learning versus traditional college education.
  • Case studies of successful individuals who have taken both formal and self-taught education pathways.

Through a well-balanced approach, the authors aim to provide data-driven insights that help readers understand the challenges and opportunities of both learning methods. The book does not merely compare self-learning and college education but also serves as a guide to help readers choose the best educational path based on their needs and aspirations.

The Relevance of This Book Amid Global Educational Transformation

The digital era has brought massive changes to the education sector. With the increasing number of online courses, interactive tutorials, and freely accessible learning resources, many individuals are questioning whether a college degree is still necessary. Meanwhile, employers continue to place high value on university graduates with structured education and formal certification.

In this context, “Self-Taught vs. College” serves as a thought-provoking reference for academics, students, learners, and professionals who want to understand how education must evolve alongside technological advancements. The book encourages readers to think critically about how they can optimize their potential, whether through an academic or self-taught approach.

According to Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, “The world is constantly evolving, and we must be prepared for change. Formal education offers structure and credibility, while self-learning provides limitless access and flexibility. The key to success is how we integrate both methods effectively.”

Excitement Ahead of the Book’s Release

Currently in its final publishing stage, this book is highly anticipated by academics, professionals, and students due to its relevance to today’s workforce challenges.

With the strong backgrounds of the authors and well-researched content, “Self-Taught vs. College: Who Excels in the AI Era?” is expected to be a primary reference for those seeking to understand the role of education in the digital transformation era.
