This section publishes concise, accessible digests of key events and trends in artificial intelligence. For each item we record: what happened, why it matters, what consequences may follow for users, developers and institutions, and—most importantly—how the event relates to the provisions of the Islamic Code for the Application of AI. Every digest highlights areas of alignment with the Code (e.g., transparency, primacy of human responsibility, privacy protection, safety, non-discrimination) as well as potential gaps: risks of opacity, data misuse, manipulative practices, violation of operating rules, etc. We provide practical takeaways and links to primary sources. Format: facts → assessment through the lens of the Code (compliance/conditional compliance/non-compliance) → brief recommendations.
Disclaimer: The materials are informational and analytical, do not constitute a religious opinion, do not replace the Code’s normative text, and do not substitute expert assessments; final decisions are made by authorized persons and organizations.
