Exploring AI from Islamic Ethics and Societal Perspective

What is AIAI?

The Al-Khwarizmi Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AIAI) is a research, consulting and training organisation that aims to explore the ethical dimensions inherent in the prevailing AI application models from an Islamic and societal perspective.

Our objective is to introduce Islamic ethical principles to develop operational and governance framework that contributes towards setting acceptable ethical norms worldwide when designing and developing AI applications.

Islamic Ethics in AI – Why it matters

Undoubtedly, Western ethics and normative principles define the terms of reference in AI’s ethical projects. In addition, most of the global policy documents come from government agencies, civil service, and private companies from the West to add to the already defined one-sided bias.

To cater for worldwide humanity, It will be prudent to balance the current socio-politico-economic climate by considering and incorporating Islamic ethics in the AI design discourse.

Our Approach

Islam is a comprehensive way of life that provides guidance on all aspects of human existence, including the use of technology. The Quran states that human beings are trustees of the earth and its resources and are responsible for their ethical utilization.

The ethical framework of Islam is rooted in principles such as justice, compassion, and accountability, which serve as a foundation for analyzing the implications of AI.

We know universal ethics often intersect. With nearly two billion Muslims following rich Islamic traditions, it is essential to explore AI from the Islamic ethics perspective and its impact on the society at large when designing and developing AI applications.

This will be valuable addition to the much needed AI ethics debate.
