Kuala Lumpur:
His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, met in Kuala Lumpur with a group of prominent youth leaders, from among university students and researchers in ASEAN countries, on the sidelines of the Third International Summit of Religious Leaders.
The meeting featured an open discussion on a number of issues related to implementing the summit’s outcomes, particularly enhancing youth awareness, empowering young people, and building their capacities to address ethical gaps in information and communication technologies, especially those associated with artificial intelligence.
Regarding AI, H.E. explained that the lack of transparency and accountability is among its most serious ethical challenges, as it can be difficult to understand how certain systems arrive at their decisions. He further noted that biases embedded in data may result in unfair decisions and discrimination against individuals and different groups.
H.E. emphasized that the collection and analysis of data raise widespread concerns about privacy violations and the misuse of personal information. He also pointed out that AI can be exploited to spread misinformation and generate deceptive content that is difficult to distinguish from authentic material.
