Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, but are Muslims prepared for what is coming?
In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we are joined by Dr Waleed Kadous, one of the leading voices in Artificial Intelligence, to explore the opportunities, risks, and profound ethical questions surrounding AI. From the future of work and the concentration of power in Big Tech, to Islamic ethics, religious guidance and the possibility of AI systems shaped by Islamic values. This conversation examines what may be one of the defining technologies of our time.
As AI advances at an unprecedented pace, who will control it? Can it be aligned with moral principles? Will it empower communities or deepen existing inequalities? And what does all of this mean for Muslims seeking to navigate a rapidly changing world?
This is a conversation about technology, power, faith, and the future. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
