About

Nor Yazi Khamis is an emerging scholar at the intersection of artificial intelligence and Islamic ethics, whose work addresses the pressing need for culturally and religiously informed AI governance. Her research focuses on the ethical implications of AI technologies—from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to weapons systems—within Muslim communities, exploring how rapid technological transformation aligns with Islamic values. In her highly cited 2021 paper, “A Preliminary Survey of Muslim Experts’ Views on Artificial Intelligence,” Khamis documented significant concern among Muslim scholars regarding AI’s expansive role in daily life, establishing a foundational framework for dialogue between technologists and religious authorities. Her 2023 follow-up, “Exploring Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence Research for Islamic Ethical Guidelines,” further develops this conversation by mapping both the transformative potential and the moral hazards of AI, advocating for context-sensitive guidelines that respect Islamic jurisprudence. Though early in her career, Khamis’s work has already garnered attention for bridging a critical gap in AI ethics literature, offering a voice often absent from mainstream discourse. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in culturally pluralistic approaches to technology governance, particularly in Muslim-majority contexts.
