Integration of Acehnese Folklore, Artificial Intelligence, and 21st Century Educational Literacy.Abstract
Acehnese folklore holds high moral values and cultural identity, so that the existence of oral literature is now threatened with extinction. This phenomenon is caused by the lack of knowledge of the current generation and traditional oral literature has not been fully integrated adaptively in digital based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to explain the integration of Acehnese folklore in AI as a transformation of 21st-century educational literacy. This research method uses a qualitative approach, through library research. Data sources come from several relevant literature such as folklore books, hikayat manuscripts, cultural journals, AI-related journals, and educational journals. Data collection techniques through the identification stage, screening stage, feasibility stage, and inclusion stage. Data analysis techniques include the process of data collection, data presentation, data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the integration of AI in Acehnese folklore plays a strategic accelerator transforming oral literature into dynamic digital assets that are relevant for future generations. Based on multimodal and interactive learning experiences, AI has proven effective in improving 21st-century literacy and introducing local culture. AI offers the advantage of revitalizing culture and instant character visualization, but its limitations require oversight by cultural experts to maintain the story's philosophical and spiritual tone. Technological sophistication and the preservation of authentic values are key to ensuring Aceh's cultural heritage remains sustainable and holds a place in the hearts of modern society.
