PROFESSIONALS UNDER THE ALGORITHM SPOTLIGHT Ethics, Image, and Competition in the Digital Age

PROFESSIONALS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT OF ALGORITHMS Ethics, Image, and the Struggle in the Digital Age By Muhammad Ari Pratomo In an era where algorithms dictate public attention, professionals face an unprecedented test. Social media popularity is often valued more than integrity, while digital images can either elevate or destroy reputations in a matter of seconds. This book serves as both a reflective and practical guide for professionals—lawyers, doctors, educators, consultants, and others—to remain steadfast in upholding ethical codes amidst the relentless demands of the times. Through in-depth analysis, real-world examples, and moral reflections, it invites readers to understand how algorithms shape illusions of reputation, how social media tempts with shallow popularity, and why ethics must always stand above all. More than just discourse, this book is a moral compass for anyone striving to walk the professional path without losing direction. It asserts that while technology evolves and algorithms gain power, the dignity of any profession will only endure if anchored in integrity, responsibility, and a commitment to humanity. An essential read for every professional seeking not only to survive but to remain truly meaningful under the spotlight of algorithms.
