The Importance of an Ethical Framework in AI Development

The rapid development of AI demands deep reflection on the ethical principles guiding its use. Fundamental questions arise: who is responsible when algorithms make harmful decisions? How can we ensure fairness, privacy, and transparency in systems that are often invisible to those affected?

Agus Mutohar, Head of the International Office at UIN Walisongo, stated in his remarks that AI is changing life at an unprecedented pace. He emphasized the importance of events like this to direct that transformation responsibly and inclusively, especially in the academic environment.
