The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Developing Inclusive and Adaptive Islamic Journalism

Abstract

This article examine the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing inclusive and adaptive Islamic journalism through a qualitative library research method. Drawing upon interdisciplinary sources from Islamic media ethics, communication studies, and AI technology, the study explores how AI can be utilized to enhance accessibility, content personalization, fact-checking, and ethical moderation in accordance with Islamic values such as amanah (trust), adl (justice), tabligh (truth), and rahmah (compassion). The research identifies both the opportunities and risks posed by AI, including algorithmic bias and the potential erosion of human editorial authority.The novelty of this study lies in its proposal of a Shariah-based ethical framework for AI integration in Islamic journalism, bridging the gap between modern digital innovation and traditional Islamic communication ethics. This framework provides practical guidance for media practitioners to ensure AI deployment supports the spiritual, social, and ethical goals of Islamic journalism in a diverse and rapidly evolving digital landscape.
