Abstract

Technological singularity refers to the point at which artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intelligence, creating fundamental changes in civilization. This concept involves the exponential acceleration of technological development with significant social, economic and ethical impacts. This research aims to explore singularity as an opportunity or threat to human existence. Through a literature-based qualitative approach, philosophical analysis is used to understand fundamental issues related to ethics, ontology, and the relationship between humans and technology. Singularity has the potential to be a new beginning by enabling the integration of technology and human values, as in the concept of Society 5.0. However, challenges such as technology access gaps, algorithm bias, and misalignment of goals between humans and AI can lead to social dystopia. By examining the relationship between humans and technology, this research provides a critical basis for policy making oriented towards sustainability and prosperity in the era of technological singularity. The results of this research provide new insights into how the singularity can profoundly shape the future of human civilization.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the Tingkeban tradition, which has undergone acculturation with religious values as a form of cultural adaptation among the Javanese community in North Sumatra. Its primary focus is on how the symbolic meanings of this tradition are perceived by Javanese people within the social environment in which they live. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to investigate in depth the practice of Tingkeban in Pangkalan Lunang Village, North Labuhanbatu. Primary data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving Javanese community members, religious leaders, and pinisepuh (customary elders). The findings show that Javanese migrants continue to preserve the Tingkeban tradition as an inherited cultural legacy, although its practice and meaning have shifted from those in the place of origin, even while its physical ritual elements still resemble the original form. Tingkeban is intended as a supplication for the safety of women who are seven months pregnant so that both mother and child may be granted health and protection. Each stage of the ritual is accompanied by prayers, shalawat, and dhikr, thereby integrating customary rites with Islamic principles.
