Abstract

The expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the digital work ecosystem cannot be separated from the logic of capital accumulation that drives global technology corporations to replace human labor with automated systems. This study aims to critically analyze the phenomenon of the replacement of productive digital workers by AI using the globalization perspective of Anthony Giddens and the critical social theory of the Frankfurt School, with a qualitative approach with a critical paradigm and case study methods through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, literature studies, and secondary data analysis from the World Economic Forum, the International Labor Organization, Goldman Sachs Research, and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The findings reveal that AI-based automation is not just a technical change, but a systematic disembedding process that removes skills from workers and transfers them to corporate algorithmic systems, as confirmed by global data: projections of the replacement of up to 92 million jobs in 2025–2030 (WEF, 2025), exposure to automation equivalent to 300 million full-time jobs (Goldman Sachs, 2023), with direct implications for more than 145 million Indonesian workers (BPS, 2025). Workers in content writing, design, data analysis, and programming are experiencing a drastic depreciation in the value of their skills while the benefits of automation are concentrated in the hands of a handful of platform owners—a manifestation of instrumental rationality that subordinates human values ​​to the logic of capitalist efficiency, reinforced by a false consciousness that disguises technological dominance as universal progress. This research asserts that responding to AI dominance requires structural resistance: equitable labor regulation, redistribution of automation profits, and reconstruction of education systems that produce critical competencies irreplaceable by machines.

Abstract

Studi ini menganalisis safari politik mantan Presiden Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) ke Provinsi Lampung pada Juni 2026, yang dilakukan bersama Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI), dengan menggunakan kerangka strukturasi Vincent Mosco dalam ekonomi politik komunikasi. Dengan metode penelitian pustaka kualitatif, studi ini menelaah teori Mosco dan pemberitaan media kontemporer mengenai peristiwa tersebut sebagai sumber sekunder. Analisis isi kualitatif diterapkan untuk mengungkap bagaimana aktor politik, institusi, dan struktur sosial berinteraksi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa safari Jokowi bertujuan menghidupkan kembali kerangka mobilisasi massa yang ia bangun saat menjabat, tetapi upaya ini dibatasi oleh hilangnya otoritas formal negara setelah ia tidak lagi menjadi presiden. Dalam konteks ini, lembaga adat lokal dan media massa muncul sebagai sumber daya penstruktur alternatif yang menghasilkan legitimasi simbolik terlihat dari pemberian gelar adat dan berulangnya penggunaan lambang gajah milik partai. Respons publik yang beragam terhadap safari tersebut menegaskan adanya perundingan ulang kekuasaan yang terus berlangsung di antara agen politik, organisasi partai, dan struktur sosial menjelang pemilihan umum 2029.
