Abstrak

Artificial Intelligence (AI) currently helps humans in solving problems. Among Indonesian students, AI is still limited in its use for completing school assignments, and has not been used to develop identity and self-concept for the future. This research aims to integrate the use of AI and the Japanese cultural concept of Ikigai for middle adolescent students in making decisions in the future. Through ChatGPT, students are invited to seek knowledge about various fields of study to determine the field of study they will pursue in higher education according to their interests and aspirations. This research was carried out using questionnaires and socialization methods. Questionnaires were given to explore each student's self-concept and socialization was provided about the Japanese cultural concept of Ikigai and the use of AI to help open students' insight into fields of study that suit their interests and aspirations. Through ChatGPT, it is easier for students to find a field of study that suits their interests and aspirations and through the concept of ikigai, students can understand their identity and self-concept so they are able to determine their future. Present Time's Artificial Intelligence (AI), if used properly, will really help human problems, especially for students in the transitional age from adolescence to adulthood who must determine their future from the start with full awareness and responsibility.
