Lecture 1:
Artificial
Intelligence in the Service of the Prophetic Tradition: Exploration
and Applications
by Dr. Saif Al
Sewaidi, CEO of ARID Co
The lecture addresses the impact of artificial
intelligence on the study of the Prophetic Tradition, starting with
the history and development of this technology and its basic concept.
We will discuss its applications in Islamic sciences, and delve into
the challenges and ethics associated with using it in understanding
the Prophetic Hadiths. We will review its role in jurisprudential
reasoning and conclude by looking at the future prospects of this
fruitful intersection between technology and Islamic studies.

Lecture 2:
AI Applications for Automated Live Translation, and
Specialization of Language Models in Quran & Hadith Sciences
By Eng. Mohammad Khair
Automated live translation provides the ability
to cross language barriers in teaching, learning, and economic
exchange. We demonstrate an application built on Google Cloud tools,
and review its potential capabilities and use cases.
Development of large language models using deep learning and AI
provide key solutions for information processing, search and
retrieval, summarization, translation, and question answering.
Language models enable interaction with users using their natural
language, empowering applications with linguistic understanding and
logic processing for a wide range of computing applications.
We will review open-source resources that enable efficient fine-tuning
of language models in Quran, Hadith, and Islamic Sciences. We will
also review Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) tools as means of
control of language models that enhance its response accuracy, and
reduce model hallucinations and errors.
