Faith leaders and civil society organizations have come together to establish the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace's AI Commission. This global initiative aims to ensure that AI regulation isn't solely influenced by major tech companies, preventing them from advancing AI technology without adequate constraints.

‍

The commission's focus is on addressing concerns such as data privacy, disinformation, and the potential exclusion of minority communities in AI development. It seeks to bridge the communication gap between the public and policymakers, arranging meetings with faith leaders and minority groups to provide their input into AI regulation discussions. The commission's findings will be presented to the governments of the UK and UAE with the power to influence technology companies, emphasizing the importance of including diverse voices in AI discussions.

The Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace's AI Commission is a collaborative effort to involve faith leaders and civil society in shaping AI regulation. The commission recognizes the need to bring these voices to the table as civil society often feels unheard in AI regulatory discussions. It plans to engage with governments, particularly in the UK and UAE, and collaborate with universities to raise awareness of AI among Muslim communities in the Global South.
