Dr. Raquib's project "Culturally Informed Pro-Social AI Regulation and Persuasion Framework" has won a grant under the Facebook Research Ethics in AI Research Initiative for the Asia Pacific.
About this project: In this work, a culturally-informed pro-social AI regulation and persuasion framework for Pakistan and the Muslim world will be proposed. In this regard, the rich Islamic legal tradition and the work on objectives (Maqasid) of Islamic law will be leveraged for studying contemporary AI-related issues. Through the proposed framework, the project team will seek to engage with other AI ethics frameworks and propose new insights that can advance the general body of knowledge on AI/ML ethical principles and guidelines.
The PI of this project is Prof. Dr. Junaid Qadir from ITU, Lahore and Dr. Amana Raquib is the Co-PI.
