Islamic AI Ethics Principles

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping the future, and at TechUmmah, we believe ethical considerations must guide its development. Our Islamic AI Ethics Principles project seeks to establish a comprehensive framework rooted in Islamic teachings to ensure AI technologies uphold accountability, transparency, fairness, and privacy.

This initiative integrates insights from Islamic scholarship and AI ethics research to address critical concerns such as bias in AI systems, responsible AI governance, and ethical AI use in Muslim societies. By developing this framework, we aim to promote responsible AI development that aligns with Islamic values and serves the common good.
