Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Qur'anic Exegesis: A Study of Accuracy and Ethical Implications
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up new avenues for the study of religious sacred texts. However, as a human-made digital product, AI naturally has its limitations. This study aims to identify the ethical implications and accuracy of AI-based exegesis in the context of Qur’anic exegesis. This is achieved through a systematic review of contemporary peer-reviewed scientific articles, open-access book chapters, and academic reports in current online PDF repositories. The findings of this study indicate that AI systems possess technical capabilities in linguistic analysis, thematic clustering, and cross-referencing between verses of the Qur’an and classical exegetical sources. However, these systems have significant limitations in capturing the theological depth, historical context, and legal diversity found within the Islamic exegetical tradition. This study emphasises that AI-based exegesis should be viewed as an academic aid, not as an independent source of interpretation
