The AI Centre of Excellence (ACE) is set to make its mark in Indonesia this October with the launch of its flagship AI Masterclass Series, in collaboration with PERHUMAS (Indonesia’s national association of public relations professionals), the LSPR Institute of Communication and Business, APPRI (the Association of Public Relations in Indonesia), and Reputasia Strategic Communications, a Jakarta-based consultancy specializing in brand and reputation management.
Building on its successful programs across Asia, ACE is bringing its hallmark learning platform to Indonesia as part of its regional mission to advance AI literacy and capability-building in communications.
The three-part masterclass series caters to diverse audiences — from senior PR leaders under PERHUMAS, to students and young professionals at LSPR, and to agencies and practitioners in the joint session with APPRI and Reputasia. Each session is designed to empower communicators, educators, and business leaders to integrate Artificial Intelligence into their strategic and creative work, transforming how they plan, communicate, and connect in today’s fast-evolving digital landscape.
Empowering Communicators for the AI Era
Unlike typical seminars, the AI Masterclass Series goes beyond theory, offering practical, hands-on learning that shows how AI can enhance creativity, productivity, and strategic decision-making. Participants will explore real-world applications — from idea generation and content workflows to audience analytics and campaign optimization — and see firsthand how AI can become a trusted ally for communicators.
Leading the sessions is Ana Pista, APR, CEO of the AI Centre of Excellence and Founder and CEO of Ardent Communications.
Widely recognized for her leadership in AI-driven communication transformation, Pista has helped organizations across Asia adopt technology responsibly and effectively. Her sessions bridge the gap between innovation and impact — ensuring participants not only understand AI, but also know how to apply it meaningfully within their organizations.
“Through these masterclasses, we want to show professionals that AI is not a distant future — it’s a tool they can use today to elevate their craft and impact,” shared Pista. “Our goal is to build confidence, competence, and collaboration among communicators as they navigate this new frontier.”
