Abstract: (31 Views) |
| This study proposes an ethical framework for artificial intelligence (AI) grounded in Islamic principles across four domains of human relationship: with God, the self, others, and the environment. Using a qualitative-analytical method and drawing upon religious sources (the Qur’an and Hadith) as well as library-based research, the study extracts Islamic ethical principles and analyzes their application to AI-related challenges. The findings show that in relation to God, principles such as fulfilling divine trust and upholding justice inspire the design of transparent, fair, and accountable AI systems. In relation to the self, it is necessary to manage inner faculties (such as power-seeking and perfectionism) and ensure users’ mental and physical well-being in algorithm design. In relation to others, the emphasis is on fairness, respecting privacy, and avoiding discrimination in systems such as facial recognition and intelligent hiring. Concerning the environment, AI should be used to optimize energy consumption, reduce pollution, and protect wildlife. Thus, integrating Islamic ethical principles with AI ethics not only prevents crises such as privacy violations and algorithmic bias but also transforms AI into a tool for achieving social justice and environmental sustainability. |
