About
Siska Rasiska Suwantapura is a development communication scholar whose work critically examines the human dimensions of technological disruption, particularly within Indonesia’s agricultural and rural extension systems. Her research centers on the intersection of digital transformation, social inequality, and the future of community development in the era of Industry 4.0. Her most cited paper, “Korban ‘Tuhan-Tuhan’ Digital: Garapan Masa Depan Penyuluhan Pembangunan 4.0” (2020), offers a provocative critique of how smart technology, automation, and artificial intelligence may create new forms of vulnerability and marginalization among rural populations. By framing humans as potential “victims” of digital deities, Suwantapura challenges the uncritical embrace of technological progress and advocates for a more human-centered approach to development extension. Though her citation count is modest, her work provides a vital counter-narrative to techno-optimism, urging policymakers and practitioners to consider the ethical and social costs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Her scholarship is especially valuable for students and researchers interested in critical development studies, digital sociology, and the politics of agricultural extension in the Global South.
