THE MAQASHID AL-SHARIAH APPROACH IN REGULATING THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USE
Abstract
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents both significant opportunities and serious ethical challenges, particularly in the context of technologies that can affect humanity, privacy, and justice. From an Islamic perspective, the ethics of technology use cannot be separated from the principles of Maqashid al-Shariah, which ensure the holistic well-being of humankind. This article aims to examine how the Maqashid al-Shariah approach can serve as a normative foundation for formulating AI usage ethics that align with Islamic values. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method based on a literature review. The findings indicate that the five principles of Maqashid (hifz al-din, al-nafs, al-‘aql, al-nasl, and al-mal) are relevant as ethical guidelines in directing the use of AI so that it remains within the framework of protecting human values, spirituality, and social justice.
