Zine Eddine Mohammed Brahmi and Youssef Galal, students at SMU, discuss with Dr. Hunt how AI affects their lives, and how it might affect their religion.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), on the other hand, is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized various industries and aspects of human life. AI is the simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human cognitive abilities, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. As AI continues to advance, its impact on society and religion, including Islam, has become a subject of interest and exploration. In this episode we delve into the intersection of Islam and AI, exploring how these two seemingly distinct entities may influence and shape each other in the modern world.
Islam, one of the world's major monotheistic religions, traces its origins back to the 7th century in the Arabian Peninsula. With over a billion followers globally, Islam is characterized by its belief in the oneness of Allah (God) and the guidance provided by the Prophet Muhammad through the holy scripture known as the Quran. The Islamic faith encompasses a comprehensive way of life, covering spiritual, moral, social, and legal aspects, making it an integral part of the lives of its adherents.
