Bayyah seeks global ethical framework for AI
Gulf Today
|October 20, 2025
Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, Chairman of the UAE Council for Fatwa, and President of the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace, called for the establishment of a global ethical framework for artificial intelligence (AI) that brings together religious, intellectual, and scientific leaders, as well as technical experts and policymakers.
-
The aim, he emphasised, is to guide the trajectory of emerging technologies to serve humanity, uphold human dignity, and promote global peace.
This call came during the “Ethics of Artificial Intelligence” seminar organised by the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace in partnership with the World Economic Forum (Davos) as part of the “Faith and Technology Dinner” held in Dubai. The event gathered an elite group of religious leaders, thinkers, policymakers, and AI experts from around the world.
In his speech, Bin Bayyah explained that the challenge in the age of AI is no longer achieving technological progress, but ensuring that such progress remains in the service of humanity rather than at its expense.
