With the advancement of technology and computing capabilities of computers, various applications and algorithms that were previously not applicable to portable devices such as laptops and smartphones can now be applied. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the increasingly popular techniques that are now a part of everyday life. AI is an umbrella term that refers to the simulation of human intelligence by machines that use big data to perform various tasks. AI has benefited many aspects of human life, including education. However, AI also has significant negative effects. This study aims to study the influence of artificial intelligence on students' critical thinking skills. This study uses qualitative research and literature analysis. However, the study also identified several negative impacts, including reliance on technology, unassured information quality, social isolation, and ethical and privacy concerns. Therefore, a balanced and strategic approach is needed in integrating AI in education to ensure that its benefits can be maximized, while its negative impact is minimized.

Abstract. Semiotic analysis of advertising aims to uncover the hidden meanings behind visual and textual elements presented in promotional content. This study explores the semiotic features in smartphone advertising, focusing on Oppo as a case study. This study uses a comparative framework to analyze the similarities and differences between Oppo advertising and competing brands. The analysis is conducted through Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic model, consisting of representamen, object, and interpretant, as well as Roland Barthes' concepts of denotation and connotation. This study identifies symbolic, iconic, and indexical signs used in Oppo advertising to build brand identity and attract target audiences. Key findings reveal how visual elements, color schemes, and slogans emphasize innovation, premium quality, and emotional connection. Comparative insights highlight Oppo's differentiation strategies, such as integrating cultural nuances and leveraging aspirational imagery, to strengthen its market position. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of how semiotic strategies influence consumer perception and purchasing behavior, as well as provide practical implications for marketers and advertisers. This study bridges the gap between semiotic theory and its application in modern advertising, providing a comprehensive perspective on the power of signs in shaping brand narratives.

Apple's strategy to enter the Japanese smartphone market was one of its most successful historical moves. One of the critical reasons for Apple's success in Japan was its strategic cooperation with Softbank, one of the country's largest mobile service providers. Softbank was instrumental in bringing the iPhone to Japan and introducing it to Japanese consumers. This collaboration gave Apple access to Softbank's extensive distribution network and powerful promotion, significantly increasing the appeal of iPhones among smartphone users in Japan. This innovation, highlighted by the high product quality and elegant design, makes the iPhone stand out compared to its competitors. More recently, Apple has gained popularity by providing exceptional customer service. Customer loyalty has been extreme in the consumer community due to efficient customer service, consistent user experience, and a well-integrated product ecosystem (such as iCloud and antenna interoperability systems). In addition to outstanding innovation and service, Apple has positioned the iPhone at a competitive pricing point in Japan. While the iPhone is sometimes regarded as a premium product with a high price tag in many areas, Apple can offer a lower price tag in Japan than specific domestic and international competitors. This makes the iPhone more appealing to Japanese consumers, who want higher-value things.
