About

Dr. Miszairi Sitiris is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and emerging technologies, with a primary focus on the legal and ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence within an Islamic framework. His groundbreaking work addresses the fundamental question of whether AI can possess legal capacity (al-ahliyyah) under Islamic law, a contribution that has earned his 2024 paper on the subject 6 citations and positioned him as a leading voice in this nascent field. Dr. Sitiris further explores the practical implications of AI development through his analysis of the fiqhi (Islamic jurisprudential) issues surrounding the financing of AI systems, such as AI maids, demonstrating his ability to bridge classical legal principles with modern technological challenges. His research not only clarifies the rights and responsibilities of artificial persons in Islamic contexts but also provides essential guidance for investors and developers navigating the ethical landscape of AI. By tackling these complex, interdisciplinary questions, Dr. Sitiris is shaping the discourse on how Islamic law can adapt to and govern the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
