Artificial Intelligence And Decision Making Processes In International Corporations

Abdul Hafid
Abstract: This paper explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing decision-making processes within multinational corporations. The primary issue addressed is how AI can be integrated effectively across diverse global… obal markets, considering factors like regulatory frameworks, cultural diversity, and market dynamics. The research proposes a framework for AI implementation that ensures both operational efficiency and ethical soundness. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys from key stakeholders in multinational corporations. Preliminary findings suggest that AI significantly improves decision-making speed and accuracy, particularly in data analysis, market trend prediction, and consumer behavior forecasting. However, challenges remain in adapting AI systems to various cultural and regulatory environments, highlighting the need for customization and local adjustments. This study contributes to understanding how AI can be applied more effectively and ethically across international markets, offering insights for future implementations in diverse business contexts.

Strengthening Geospatial-Based Maritime Surveillance: A Case Study of Adaptation to Extreme Weather in Critical Shipping Lanes

Ida Bagus Putra Budiana, Anwar Kurniadi, Mitro Prohantoro, Rachmat Setiawibawa
Abstract: The Malacca Strait is a vital maritime route that faces significant challenges from high traffic volumes and increasingly frequent extreme weather scenarios. These conditions pose serious risks to navigational safety, environmental… vironmental integrity, and maritime operational security. This study aims to analyse the needs and components of a robust maritime surveillance architecture in the Malacca Strait, particularly in dealing with the impacts of extreme weather and climate change. Additionally, this research will explore the role of geospatial maritime intelligence in enhancing situational awareness and response to maritime incidents. The study findings indicate that a resilient surveillance architecture in the Malacca Strait requires the integration of advanced sensor systems (including multi-spectral radar and meteorological/oceanographic sensors), redundant communication networks, and AI/ML-based intelligent data processing. The adaptive capabilities of the system, including the use of UAVs and USVs, are critical to maintaining operational effectiveness in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, international cooperation and a robust policy framework, encompassing climate change adaptation and ethical considerations, are fundamental to the successful implementation and sustainability of surveillance systems. The Malacca Strait case study highlights specific vulnerabilities and proposes concrete solutions, illustrating a shift from a reactive to a proactive paradigm in maritime security. Building a resilient surveillance architecture in the Malacca Strait is a strategic imperative to safeguard global trade, regional stability, and environmental sustainability amid increasing climate uncertainty. Integrating cutting-edge technology with robust policies and international collaboration will ensure the safety and security of this vital waterway, making it a model for resilient maritime governance globally. A new aspect emphasised is the importance of adapting to climate change and the role of AI in predictive decision-making. This article presents a comprehensive and integrated approach to building a resilient maritime surveillance architecture, with a particular focus on the challenges of extreme weather in the Malacca Strait. Its originality lies in its emphasis on multi-sensor data fusion, the role of artificial intelligence in predictive analytics, and the integration of climate change adaptation into surveillance system design. Additionally, the article underscores the importance of a robust policy framework and international cooperation as the cornerstones of maritime surveillance resilience, offering a blueprint applicable to other critical maritime routes worldwide

Diandra Parta Wisnu Dewangga, Suhartawan Budianto, Kusuma Wijaya
Abstract: In discourse, speech is not only considered as a linguistic phenomenon but also as a means to maintain or change power relations in society. One of the clearest examples of the use of speech in discourse to change social… change occurred in The Black Civil Rights Movement from 1955 to 1968 in the United States. Based on the interest in studying Malcolm X's speech further, the thesis writer decided to analyze Malcolm X's speech at the Oxford Union Debate using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis framework with a qualitative method that will focus on linguistic issues as part of social and humanitarian issues. The results of this study showed deconstruction result of Malcolm X's speech text by analyzing various linguistic features from the dimensions of text practice (including positive and negative lexical items, key terms of ideology and belief, modality, and rhetorical devices), discursive practice (including intertextuality and shared knowledge), and sociocultural (including formality and personal pronouns), then continued with a discussion of the relationship between discourse, power, and ideology and the role of Malcolm X's speech in the historical context at that time. It can be concluded that Malcolm X's speech highlights his advocacy for revolutionary justice and self-defense for oppressed black people. He also challenged the power structures of his time, opposing segregation and exposing the hypocrisy of the American and Western governments with white supremacy and colonialism behind the mask of democracy.

The Convergence Of Islamic Law And Positive Law In Marriage In Indonesia

Mulyanto
Abstract: Marriage Law in Indonesia is the result of the convergence between Islamic legal principles and state regulations, as outlined in Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This study aims… to analyze how Islamic law and positive law interact in regulating marriage and to what extent their convergence occurs in the practice of religious courts and within the Muslim community in Indonesia. The research employs a normative approach by analyzing sources of Islamic law, statutory regulations, and religious court rulings related to marriage. The findings indicate that although Indonesia’s marriage law is based on Sharia principles, several adjustments have been made to align with positive law to ensure justice and protection for all parties, particularly in aspects such as marriage registration, minimum marriage age, and women's rights. The convergence between Islamic law and positive law reflects efforts to harmonize religious values with national legal interests. However, challenges remain in its implementation, particularly concerning child marriage, polygamy, and divorce, which often spark debates in society. Therefore, further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of Indonesia’s marriage regulations and how Islamic law can continue to adapt within the framework of a modern legal state.

M Reza Ishadi Fadillah, Devito Andharu, Rommel Utungga Pasopati, Kusuma Wijaya, Anggraeni Ramadhani, Anindya Thalita Salsabila
Abstract: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to visualize the narrative of English-language short stories offers a novel approach to enriching the interpretive and aesthetic dimensions of storytelling. Utilizing BingImage.com… ngImage.com as an AI-based image generator, textual narratives are transformed into prompts that create visual depictions of each scene. The visuals effectively reflect the mood, emotions, and settings of the story, albeit with some inconsistencies in character depictions across scenes. This exploratory approach examines correlations between narrative and visuals, scene continuity, and aesthetic accuracy. The findings indicate that AI-based visualization can create a more immersive reading experience, enhancing the reader's comprehension through relevant illustrations. This technology also provides creative interpretations that expand the artistic dimensions of short stories. Despite its potential, challenges such as maintaining visual consistency across scenes remain. These findings provide new insights into the integration of digital technology in literary transformation, paving the way for innovative future methodologies.
