Rapid developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry have triggered an increased need for workers with specialized competencies, which has implications for significant variations in salary levels. This research aims to analyze the factors that influence salaries in the AI sector using the multiple linear regression method. The dataset used includes 15,000 AI job vacancies with variables including job and company characteristics. The data was engineered via the one-hot encoding method and divided into two parts: training data (80%) and test data (20%). The analysis results show that the regression model is able to explain 85% of the variation in salary, with an R² value of 0.85 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of USD 23,221. The three main factors identified as having a significant influence on salaries in the AI field are work experience, company location, and the industry in which the company operates. The experience factor reflects the skills and knowledge developed over many years, which can increase productivity (Rony et al., 2023). Company location also plays an important role, as the cost of living and demand for skilled labor varies by region (Badran, 2019). Additionally, the specific industry in which an employee works influences salary, given that more developed industries can often offer higher compensation (Huang, 2025). This research makes a significant empirical contribution to the understanding of compensation structures in the AI labor market.

The strengthening of the Secretariat apparatus of the Regional Representative Council (DPRD) is a strategic issue in the governance of legislative administration at the regional level in Indonesia. However, studies on the DPRD Secretariat remain relatively limited and tend to emphasize structural and regulatory aspects, without comprehensively addressing institutional dynamics. This study aims to strengthen the DPRD Secretariat apparatus through an institutionalist perspective, using the Institutional Three Pillars Theory framework proposed by W. Richard Scott. This study is a conceptual paper developed through a narrative literature review approach, examining both classical and contemporary literature in the fields of institutionalism and public administration. The analysis focuses on how the regulatory, normative, and cognitive pillars interact to shape the institutional practices of the DPRD Secretariat as an institution supporting the legislative, budgeting, and oversight functions at the regional level. The study's findings show that the strengthening of the DPRD Secretariat apparatus cannot be understood solely as a consequence of formal regulation, but rather as an institutional process involving a balance between legal rules, professional values and norms, and collective meaning-making regarding the role and institutional identity. This study is not intended to empirically assess performance but offers a conceptual framework that can be used to understand the dynamics of regional legislative administration more holistically. Theoretically, this research contributes to enriching institutionalism studies in public administration by positioning the DPRD Secretariat as a complex and contextual institution. The conceptual framework offered is expected to serve as a reference for future empirical research and conceptual reflection for strengthening legislative administration institutions in Indonesia.

The process of determining scholarship eligibility often faces challenges related to subjectivity and uncertainty in assessment criteria, which can result in inaccurate and unfair decisions. Scholarship selection generally involves multiple criteria, such as academic achievement, family economic conditions, and supporting factors that are difficult to evaluate using conventional decision-making methods. Therefore, an appropriate decision support approach is required to handle such uncertainty effectively. This study aims to implement the Fuzzy Mamdani method in a decision support system to determine scholarship eligibility more objectively and accurately. The research method consists of data collection, fuzzification of input variables, formulation of fuzzy rules, inference using the Mamdani approach, and defuzzification using the centroid method to obtain a crisp eligibility value. The results show that the Fuzzy Mamdani method is capable of producing flexible eligibility scores by considering the degree of membership of each criterion. The generated output reflects real conditions more comprehensively compared to traditional methods. The implementation of this method can assist decision-makers in improving transparency, consistency, and fairness in scholarship selection. This research is expected to contribute to the development of intelligent decision support systems in the field of educational assessment.
