Muslim Council Elders Highlight AI Ethics at Abu Dhabi Book Fair
Abu Dhabi: As part of its cultural and intellectual programme at the 34th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, the Muslim Council of Elders' pavilion hosted a seminar titled 'Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Usage,' presented by Dr. Mohamed Abdulzaher, CEO of the Artificial Intelligence Journalism Foundation for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF). According to Bahrain News Agency, Dr. Abdulzaher emphasised the urgent need to establish clear ethical and legislative frameworks for AI technologies, tools, and applications to ensure responsible use and safeguard individual privacy. Dr. Abdulzaher noted that AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini represent just a drop in the ocean of AI advancements, explaining that the number of AI-based applications surged from approximately 35,000 in 2018 to 50,000 in 2024, with projections exceeding one million applications by the end of 2025. He further clarified the critical distinction between a 'tool' and an 'application,' pointing out that tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini serve as implementation mechanisms, while applications refer to integrated AI systems functioning within complete environments. Given this rapid expansion, he stressed the necessity of developing robust ethical standards, warning that unregulated usage could pose risks to individuals and society, particularly as companies race to offer faster and more precise AI-powered services. The AIJRF's CEO also called on journalists and media institutions to assume their responsibility by disclosing when AI is used in content production.

AUS hosts the 5th Artificial Intelligence Journalism World Forum 2025
Dr. Mohamed Abdulzaher, AIJRF CEO: AIJWF launches the Global Challenge: Human Talents vs Gen AI Dubai: Artificial Intelligence Journalism for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF), the global leading organization in AI and media research, and the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions' technologies, has announced that the 5th edition of the Artificial Intelligence Journalism World Forum (AIJWF) 2025, will be in collaboration with the College of Engineering and the Artificial Intelligence, Smart Infrastructure, Robotics (AISIR) Research Center at the American University of Sharjah, on the 28th and 29th of April 2025. Professor Abdullatif AlShamsi, General Rapporteur of the 5th AIJWF and a distinguished member of the AIJRF Advisory Board, underscored the AIJWF's significance in probing AI's developmental trajectory and transformative influence. Reflecting on its prescient vision, Professor AlShamsi remarked: "Artificial intelligence, though often perceived as a modern disruptor, is far from new. Some historians trace its conceptual origins to the 18th-century Mechanical Turk, a chess-playing automaton that sparked fascination about man-made cognition. Yet what distinguishes our current era is the unprecedented velocity and breadth of AI's evolution—an acceleration that the Annual International Journalism and Artificial Intelligence World Forum (AIJWF) rightly anticipated. By foregrounding critical inquiry into AI's potential several years ago, this Forum demonstrated a keen awareness of how deeply technology could reshape content creation and broader industries." Expanding on this year's thematic focus, Prof. AlShamsi elaborated: "The 2025 AIJWF advances a dual imperative: first, to articulate a framework for successive paradigm shifts within the content industry, and second, to foreground Arab institutional innovations in AI-integrated pedagogy. Notably, Sharjah has emerged as a pioneering force in this domain, exemplified by the American University of Sharjah's empirical advancements in embedding AI across curricula—a strategic alignment with the visionary directives of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, whose stewardship has positioned the emirate's educational institutions at the vanguard of global AI-education integration." AUS and Emerging Technologies Professor Fadi Aloul, the Dean of the College of Engineering at AUS says: ' This year's AIJWF presents a great opportunity to unite global and local experts, AI manufacturers, and industry leaders in a dynamic race to integrate cutting-edge AI tools. It serves as a platform to foster ethical and professional frameworks, ensuring responsible AI adoption while maximizing its transformative potential to elevate industry standards and significantly enhance the labor market.
