Transformation from manual to digital: Artificial Intelligence in batik education for 5.0 society

Abstract

The problem of transformation from manual to digital in Indonesia and Malaysia faces many obstacles. The phenomenon of society maintaining traditions or manuals is still very dominant, but solutions must be implemented. Education at the tertiary level studying batik in Indonesia and Malaysia is still very manual, based on ideas, cultural influences and the skills of the maker. The existence of artificial intelligence is not yet optimal in Society 5.0 which is very human-centered and supported by continuously developing technology such as Artificial Intelligence. Technological advances including artificial intelligence have been widely used, but there is still little in the creation of batik patterns. The method in this paper is conceptual and review based. The future direction from manual to digital transformation is that the support of Artificial Intelligence technology is very helpful and makes it easier for hu-mans to create new batik which can enrich Indonesian and Malaysian batik higher education.
