Islamic Alliance for Safe, Ethical, and Responsible AI
Principled engagement with artificial intelligence, rooted in Islam.
IASER enjoins beneficial applications of AI and works to prevent harmful ones — as defined by the Qur’an and Sunnah. We inform, guide, and build community across the intersection of Islam and artificial intelligence.
Safe
Salama — Soundness
AI must not take human life without human judgment or surveil entire populations. We oppose autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.
Ethical
Ihsan — Excellence
AI must reflect moral principles — fairness, dignity, privacy, truthfulness. Systems that strip human dignity are unacceptable.
Responsible
Amanah — Accountability
Those who build and deploy AI bear a trust. They must be accountable for what their systems do and the consequences they produce.

At 'Rethinking the Challenge of AI: Tech Sovereignty, Islam & the Individual' at Ebrahim College in London, IASER's cofounder made four points in ten minutes: AI is advancing faster than we are preparing for it; Muslims need to respond both collectively as an Ummah and individually; the worlds of belief and technology have never been closer; and the psychological impact of AI remains poorly understood and represents a major research opportunity.
Read moreRising to the Challenge of AI
How do we — as an Ummah and as individuals — rise to the challenge of AI? A talk in five parts: characterising the technology, mapping its likely impacts, drawing guidance from the Prophetic response to writing and the printing press, and asking how we respond both collectively and personally.
