About

Dr. Gamal Abdul Nasir Zakaria is a leading scholar at the intersection of Islamic ethics and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on the responsible development of artificial intelligence. His most cited work, "Exploring Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence Research for Islamic Ethical Guidelines" (2023, 4 citations), represents a pioneering effort to bridge the gap between rapid technological advancement and traditional moral frameworks. In this seminal paper, Zakaria critically examines how AI’s exponential growth—from chatbots and autonomous vehicles to robotic systems and weapons—demands a robust ethical response rooted in Islamic principles. His major contribution lies in systematically mapping both the transformative opportunities and the profound risks posed by AI, then proposing a set of actionable guidelines that align technological innovation with Islamic values of justice, accountability, and human dignity. This work has positioned him as a vital voice in the global conversation on AI governance, offering a non-Western ethical perspective that is increasingly recognized by interdisciplinary researchers. Through his scholarship, Zakaria is shaping how Muslim-majority societies and the broader academic community can navigate the moral complexities of the AI revolution.
