Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the world, but who is shaping artificial intelligence?

In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we sit down with Waleed Kadous, one of the leading minds in AI, to explore how this technology is transforming education, politics, geopolitics, and even the future of religious authority. As governments, corporations, and global powers race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems, where do Muslims fit into this conversation?

From the rise of Anthropic and the global AI race to the philosophical assumptions embedded within today's models, this discussion examines why AI is far more than just another technological breakthrough. It is a civilisational shift that Muslims cannot afford to ignore.
