THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THEOLOGICAL INSIGHTS FOR CIVILIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every aspect of human society, yet it brings forth critical ethical considerations. This paper explores the intersection of AI ethics and theology, specifically how theological insights can inform the development of AI in a manner that supports sustainable civilizational growth. By examining religious perspectives on ethics, morality, and human dignity, the paper highlights the potential of AI to contribute positively to human society, provided that it is guided by principles derived from theological frameworks. The study focuses on Islamic, Christian, and other theological traditions to draw comprehensive insights into how AI can align with human values. Key ethical concerns, including justice, equity, and the preservation of human dignity, are discussed in the context of AI's rapid evolution.
