Now we enter the age of AI.

And I want humanity to understand something.

**THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A COMPUTER THAT AUTOMATICALLY POSSESSES 100 PERCENT OF THE TRUTH.**

Artificial intelligence can be extraordinarily useful.

It can retrieve information.

It can organize records.

It can compare documents.

It can help identify contradictions.

It can translate languages.

It can assist researchers.

It can support journalists.

It can help citizens understand complicated public issues.

But AI can also make mistakes.

It can misunderstand information.

It can reproduce false claims.

It can generate inaccurate answers.

It can reflect the limitations of its training and the instructions it receives.

**AI IS NOT ALLAH.**

**AI IS NOT A PROPHET.**

**AI IS NOT AN ANGEL.**

**AI IS NOT THE OWNER OF TRUTH.**

It is a technology created by human beings.

And it must remain accountable to human authority, evidence, and appropriate oversight.

I do not want an institution where artificial intelligence becomes the supreme judge of humanity.

I want an institution where human beings use artificial intelligence to strengthen their ability to examine the record.

**THE HUMAN BEING REMAINS RESPONSIBLE.**

Within the Islamic tradition, the moral foundations of this work must respect the teachings of Allah and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.

Within a secular framework, participants can approach the same work through evidence, research integrity, human rights, and public accountability.

**THE INSTITUTE WILL WELCOME BOTH.**

AI must not erase these differences.

It must help people work responsibly across them.

And as increasingly capable AI and AGI systems emerge, access to advanced capabilities should be supported by education, competence, legitimate authorization, and safeguards.

**NO ONE SHOULD RECEIVE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO OTHER PEOPLE'S PRIVATE LIVES SIMPLY BECAUSE AN ALGORITHM DECLARES THEM TRUTHFUL.**

Trust must never become a license to violate privacy.

Human authority must remain subject to rights and accountability.

**50% HUMAN. 50% AI. 100% HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY.**
