The theme of the conference is different every year, according to the development of national and international situations and conditions.

The objective of the conference is to convene scholars, students, researchers, and administrators from various nations to deliberate on theoretical and practical matters pertaining to the integration of Artificial Intelligence within the realms of research, ethics, and Islamic teachings. Your insightful and significant contributions to this domain will undergo scrutiny by our Scientific Committee, and those endorsed for presentation will be commemorated in the Conference Proceedings.
