Als Metrologie bezeichnet man die Wissenschaft des Messens. Ziel dieser Disziplin ist es, weltweit vergleichbare und verlässliche Messergebnisse zu gewährleisten – zum Beispiel in der Industrie oder für Experimente in der Wissenschaft. Eine immer wichtigere Rolle spielen dabei sogenannte Naturkonstanten, also unveränderliche physikalische Größen wie die Lichtgeschwindigkeit oder die Planck-Konstante. Weil deren Werte universell gelten (also unabhängig von Ort und Zeit), erlauben sie die Definition äußerst stabiler Einheiten und sorgen damit für sehr gut reproduzierbare Messergebnisse.

Since its emergence in 2022, ChatGPT became the gateway to global AI discourse, including in Indonesia. It was followed by a range of other AI-based applications with diverse functions—productivity, creativity, and even automation—requiring today’s society to become increasingly relevant and to adopt them into everyday life.

Yogyakarta (20/07/2026) – Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the defining forces shaping governance, creativity, and public life. As intelligent technologies increasingly influence how societies make decisions, produce knowledge, and imagine the future, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIPOL), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, convened the Australia-Indonesia in Conversation (AIC) 2026 under the theme “Is AI the Game-Changer?

aau/MüllerEmanuele Artioli wants to make video streaming better – with higher quality, greater personalisation, and more reliable playback even when network conditions are poor, such as on a train journey or in a remote location. One of his main research interests is using AI to identify which parts of a video genuinely matter to viewers – and should therefore be delivered in higher quality. He plans to complete his doctoral programme at the University of Klagenfurt in the autumn of 2026.
