About

Mohd Faiz Mohd Yaakob is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and Islamic ethics. His research critically examines the rapid expansion of AI technologies—from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to drones and weapons systems—and their profound implications for Muslim life. Through a series of influential studies, including a preliminary survey of Muslim experts’ views on AI (10 citations) and an exploration of the need for Islamic ethical guidelines in AI research (8 citations), Yaakob has established a foundational framework for understanding how Islamic principles can govern emerging technologies. His work identifies both the transformative potential and the significant risks posed by unchecked AI development, arguing persuasively for culturally and religiously informed governance. By bridging technical innovation with theological scholarship, Yaakob’s research (totaling over 20 citations) provides essential guidance for policymakers, technologists, and religious leaders navigating the ethical challenges of the AI era. His contributions are particularly vital as Muslim-majority nations and communities worldwide grapple with the moral dimensions of autonomous systems, making his work indispensable for anyone studying the global ethics of artificial intelligence.
