Jakarta, INTI - Indonesia's Golkar Party is advancing its organizational digital transformation through artificial intelligence (AI) training involving 44 participants. The initiative forms part of the party's 2026 National Coordination Meeting on Media and Opinion Building (Rakornas MPO) and AI Seminar and Workshop (Semiloka AI), held in Jakarta on November 6–7.
Nurul Arifin, Head of Media and Opinion Building at Golkar's Central Executive Board (DPP) and Chair of the Organizing Committee, said the program aims to enhance party members' capabilities in responding to technological developments and the evolving landscape of political communication.
According to Nurul, advances in artificial intelligence offer political parties opportunities to improve communication effectiveness, information management, and organizational services to the public.
"Digital transformation is no longer simply an option; it has become a necessity for political parties seeking to evolve into modern organizations. We want every level of Golkar to understand and utilize technological developments, including artificial intelligence, appropriately and responsibly," Nurul said at Golkar's DPP headquarters in Slipi, Jakarta, on Friday, November 6, 2026.
AI Workshop Develops Practical Skills Through Hands-On Training
She explained that the Rakornas MPO focuses on strengthening coordination and consolidation among media and opinion-building teams across different levels of the organization. Meanwhile, the AI workshop is designed to improve members' practical skills in applying technology to support their daily responsibilities.
The series of activities began with the seminar and Rakornas MPO on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), at the Grha Golkar Hall, Golkar DPP Office, on Jalan Anggrek Neli Murni, Kemanggisan, West Jakarta.
The agenda continued with an artificial intelligence workshop on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. WIB at the Garuda Spark Innovation Hub, fX Sudirman, Jakarta.
The workshop brought together technical teams responsible for various organizational functions, including social media management, membership data, secretarial administration, and election-related activities.
Participants were also required to prepare one example of a challenge or use case from their daily work. These examples served as practical exercises for applying prompt engineering techniques throughout the workshop.
Through this hands-on approach, Golkar aims to ensure that its members not only understand the fundamentals of artificial intelligence but can also apply the technology to improve organizational operations.
Golkar Expands AI Adoption Across Organizational Teams
"Our goal is to develop members' ability to use technology productively. AI should serve as a tool to improve work quality, accelerate information processing, and strengthen the effectiveness of organizational communication," Nurul added.
The program involved representatives from organizations that founded or were established by Golkar, affiliated organizations, expert staff from the Golkar Party faction in the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Golkar Connect, as well as media managers from KabarGolkar and Golkarpedia.
According to the participant allocation outlined in the Golkar DPP invitation, the seminar involved 88 participants, the Rakornas MPO had 58 participants, and the artificial intelligence workshop was attended by 44 participants.
Participants who attend the entire seminar and workshop series, actively engage in the sessions, and complete their practical use case exercises will receive a cadre development certificate from the Golkar Party Academy (APG).
Through these initiatives, Golkar aims to improve communication coordination and strengthen its human resource capabilities. Greater technological proficiency is expected to help the organization adapt to changing patterns of political communication in the digital era.
Conclusion
Golkar's AI training initiative reflects the growing importance of artificial intelligence in modern organizational management and political communication. By equipping its members with practical AI skills, including prompt engineering, the party aims to improve operational efficiency, strengthen information management, and enhance communication capabilities. This initiative also highlights how AI adoption can support institutional transformation and prepare organizations to navigate an increasingly technology-driven environment.
