ISLAM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:: ETHICAL PERSPECTIVES

Islam and Artificial Intelligence: Ethical Perspectives is a timely and scholarly exploration of the relationship between Islamic ethics and the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As AI increasingly influences education, healthcare, governance, economics, communication, and daily human interactions, important ethical questions arise regarding justice, privacy, accountability, human dignity, bias, and the future of human decision-making. This book examines these contemporary challenges through the lens of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), and the rich tradition of Islamic ethical thought. It analyzes how Islamic principles such as justice (ʿadl), public welfare (maṣlaḥah), trust (amānah), responsibility (masʾūliyyah), and human dignity (karāmah al-insān) can guide the development and use of AI technologies. The work further investigates emerging issues including algorithmic bias, data privacy, autonomous systems, AI in healthcare, education, finance, and warfare, while considering the opportunities and risks that AI presents for Muslim societies and humanity at large. By integrating classical Islamic teachings with modern technological realities, the book offers a balanced framework for understanding and evaluating AI from an Islamic ethical perspective. Designed for researchers, academics, policymakers, technology professionals, and students, this book contributes to the growing discourse on religion, technology, and ethics, and seeks to promote a responsible, human-centered, and morally grounded approach to Artificial Intelligence in the contemporary world.
