Overview
As artificial intelligence continues to redefine the nature of warfare, it raises profound ethical and legal questions: Can AI technologies truly promote peace, or do they fundamentally alter the moral fabric of war?
Organized by the Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) at the College of Islamic Studies, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and held as part of the seminar “War and Armed Conflicts Ethics,” this public lecture brings together scholars to explore diverse perspectives on the global ethical debates surrounding autonomous weapons.
The discussion will examine the moral and legal assessment of AI-driven warfare through the lens of Islamic ethics, offering a critical and reflective dialogue on how artificial intelligence challenges traditional notions of responsibility, justice, and the ethics of armed conflict.
