- In “IslamTrust: A Benchmark for LLMs Alignment with Islamic Values” (Muslims in Machine Learning), Abderraouf Lahmar (Eötvös Loránd University) and others observe that the “alignment of most Large Language Models (LLMs) to broad, often non-Islamic ethical principles creates a significant gap for users from specific cultural and religious backgrounds. LLMs used within Muslim communities for Islamic Q&A should be based on Islamic ethics, derived from scholarly consensus. A standardized benchmark that can evaluate this is currently absent; hence, this work introduces IslamTrust, a novel, multilingual benchmark that is designed to evaluate the alignment of LLMs with consensus-based Islamic ethical principles across Sunni schools of thought.”
