AI and algorithms<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Prof. Marco Skoric of the University of Hong Kong warned that digital media risks narrowing public perspectives, as algorithms often reinforce exposure to similar content. \u201cDigital platforms make us encounter the same things repeatedly. This strips society of opportunities to understand social complexity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prof. Skoric pointed to a major shift in how platforms function. While early networks like Facebook and Twitter were based on social connections, newer platforms such as TikTok organize users by shared preferences. \u201cInstead of building communities, people are now primarily segmented as advertising targets,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n

He argued that the antidote is cultivating serendipity, or openness to new and unexpected experiences. \u201cWe need greater exposure to differences\u2014not just sameness. That is essential if society is to navigate an increasingly complex world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n

Ethics and human element<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Anita Dewi of Charles Sturt University in Australia stressed that while AI can streamline processes, it cannot replace human judgment. \u201cAI supports technical work like cataloging or presenting information. But decisions about content, access, and ethical values must remain with human professionals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

She emphasized that AI must operate within ethical boundaries. \u201cTechnology never exists in isolation. There are always actors behind it, and we must remain critical\u2014not only of AI itself but of those who design and deploy it,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Dewi highlighted the irreplaceable role of human-centered decision-making. \u201cIn libraries, AI can handle technical tasks, but choosing children\u2019s books or determining access to information still requires human oversight,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

Speakers agreed that AI\u2019s advance cannot be stopped but must be guided by human values. Suggested measures included age limits for social media use, stricter oversight of tech companies, and embedding digital ethics education in universities.<\/p>\n\n

The conference underscored UNAIR FISIP\u2019s message: AI and digital media are merely tools. Their value lies in how they are governed\u2014with ethics, transparency, and a human touch that ensures society remains at the heart of technological change.<\/p>\n\n
