Saudi Arabia's Humain has introduced a new Arabic conversational AI application tailored for Arabs and Muslims, incorporating Islamic values. The launch aligns with Saudi Arabia's ambition to establish itself as a leader in the artificial intelligence sector. The chatbot is designed to offer users accurate and unbiased answers to Islamic questions, addressing a wide range of topics including theology, Islamic practices, history, ethics and daily life. It aims to provide guidance based on established Islamic teachings and scholarly sources, while also approaching sensitive topics with respect and sensitivity.
The AI is programmed to align with Islamic principles, avoiding controversial or inappropriate responses. While the chatbot can offer general advice, consulting with knowledgeable religious leaders is recommended for deeply personal matters. The chatbot intends to protect Islamic values, center communities, and reflect trust in Allah. This launch highlights the growing importance of AI in the Muslim world, with considerations for preserving Islamic values and culture in the development and use of AI technologies.
It also emphasizes the need for Muslims to be active participants in shaping AI, ensuring that these technologies align with their faith and contribute positively to society. The integration of Islamic principles into AI aims to provide a valuable resource for Muslims seeking guidance and knowledge in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
