Course Overview
Welcome to “Artificial Intelligence and Islam”, a unique and immersive online course designed by Al Balagh Academy. As we step into the future, the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the realm of Islamic principles become ever more pertinent. This course navigates this uncharted territory, offering a comprehensive view of the profound effects AI can have on society, religion, ethics, privacy, and more.
