Abstract

Artificial intelligence, which is one of the most debated subjects of today, is defined as the intelligent behaviors of a machine such as reasoning, learning, communicating etc.in a broad sense. The main purpose of artificial intelligence studies is to produce an artificial intelligence system that is conscious, able to think and having a moral status in a similar way to human beings. In this respect, it is necessary to integrate an artificial ethics in order to prevent artificial intelligence systems that can think and become conscious as a possibility, in order to prevent harm to both human beings and other living things. Otherwise, the lack of ethical status of these artificial intelligence systems may pose a problem both for the human race and for other living things. In Islam, ethics is very important in the field of human behavior and actions in the society. Therefore, when designing and using artificial intelligence, compliance with Islamic ethical principles can be improved and guarantee the quality of work of intelligent systems. The main question in the current research is what are the ethical challenges in the field of artificial intelligence? The aim of the article is to explain the ethical challenges in the field of artificial intelligence with this perspective on Islamic ethics.
