Addressing Ethical Issues in the Field of Information: Digitalization, Media, and Algorithms

Abstract

This research examines ethical issues in the information field, particularly concerning digitalization, media, and algorithms in the context of Islamic values. The study aims to identify major ethical challenges arising from digital transformation and propose solutions based on Islamic principles and contemporary ethics. Using a qualitative approach with literature review methodology, this research analyzes various scholarly works, Islamic sources, and case studies related to digital ethics. The findings reveal that key ethical issues include privacy violations, algorithmic bias, misinformation spread, and digital inequality. The study concludes that an integrated ethical framework combining Islamic values such as justice (adl), trustworthiness (amanah), and beneficence (maslahah) with universal ethical principles is essential for addressing these challenges. This framework can guide policymakers, technology developers, and users in creating a more ethical digital ecosystem that respects human dignity and promotes social welfare.
