In “The Zakatability of AI: A Dual Analysis from Sharia and Saudi Law” (Journal of Posthumanism), Saud M. Alholiby Albin Zaid (University of Florida Levin College of Law) and others argue that “Islamic jurisprudence theoretically accommodates AI through two potential pathways: the current owner-attribution model (treating outputs as ‘urūḍ al-tijārah) and a future direct liability model (should AI gain legal personhood, drawing on waqf precedents).”
In “The Golem, the Djinni, and ChatGPT: Artificial Intelligence and the Islamicate Occult Sciences” (Theology and Science), Amina Inloes (The Islamic College) “examines AI through a classical Islamicate occult paradigm to better grasp what it is, metaphysically speaking, and how developments in AI might outmode some post-Enlightenment worldviews.” [login required]
