Human Resource Transformation in the AI Era: The Relevance of Islamic Humanism in Building Public Ethics in Modern Society in Lima Puluh Kota

Abstrak

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has driven an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Human Resource (HR) transformation, creating complex public ethics challenges such as dehumanization, algorithmic bias, and the erosion of social values. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of AI-HR transformation and construct a public ethics framework based on Islamic Humanism rooted in Minangkabau local wisdom across 50 cities/regencies in West Sumatra. Employing an exploratory qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three key informants (policymaker, corporate practitioner, academic) and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic and hermeneutic methods. The findings reveal that effective ethical construction is an organic process of contextualization, where principles of Islamic Humanism (karāmah insāniyyah, 'adl, maslahah, tawāzun) are synthesized with local values (maruah, raso jo pareso, Tungku Tigo Sajarangan) to produce a collaborative governance model. This synthesis yields the Islamic-Minangkabau Humanism framework, which offers three advantages: grounded moral language, institutionalized social infrastructure, and an ABS-SBK integrative vision. The study's implications highlight the urgent need to develop a Blueprint for Local Value-Based Ethical AI Governance, an "AI Manujuangkang" education module, and socio-cultural algorithm audit mechanisms involving customary institutions to ensure an equitable and sustainable digital transformation.
