The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Developing Islamic Studies: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Artificial intelligence models have become important in improving the quality of life, as they are applied in various fields such as economics, social sciences, and scientific research. In the field of Islamic studies, researchers have started to adopt artificial intelligence to enhance their research, which offers tremendous opportunities in this area. However, the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in this context threaten rigorous scientific research, which has its foundations and principles. To address this scientific paper titled "The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Developing Islamic Studies: Opportunities and Challenges," the descriptive method will be adopted to describe the current use of artificial intelligence in Islamic studies, and the analytical method will be used to analyze the available data for a deeper understanding of the issue presented by the research. Several conclusions have been reached, including the importance of artificial intelligence in preserving manuscript heritage, facilitating translation processes, and using its tools to simplify research and studies. On the other hand, the challenges are numerous, such as the loss of critical acumen and the volume of inaccuracies that generative AI data might contain.
