About

Ali Hadi Al-Obeidi is a pioneering legal scholar at the intersection of emerging technology and Islamic jurisprudence. His research focuses on the legal personhood of artificial intelligence and robotics, particularly within the frameworks of UAE law and Islamic legal traditions. Al-Obeidi’s most cited work, "Robotics and AI Systems: Legal Personality for AI System Under UAE Law and Islamic Jurisprudence" (2023, 7 citations), examines how existing legal structures in the UAE address—or fail to address—the status of autonomous systems, offering a comparative analysis with Islamic legal principles. His second major contribution, "Legal Basis of Civil Liability for Applications of Artificial Intelligence (Particularly Robotics) According to the UAE Civil Transactions Law" (2022, 5 citations), explores the applicability of civil liability provisions to AI-driven actions, a critical issue as robotics become more integrated into daily life. Together, these works provide foundational insights for lawmakers and technologists navigating the ethical and legal challenges of AI. Al-Obeidi’s scholarship is notable for bridging Western legal concepts with Islamic jurisprudence, offering a unique perspective in a rapidly evolving field. His research is essential reading for students and researchers interested in AI law, comparative legal systems, and the future of autonomous systems regulation.
