University of Humanities and the UAE Council for Fatwa,

as well as a number of experts, researchers, and

stakeholders from around the world.

convening within the framework of the Forum to

address the global concern of connecting scientific

development with ethical frameworks. "These

frameworks aim to elevate the human condition,

preserve dignity, and protect lives.

“The Forum was the first institution in the region to join

the Rome Call for AI Ethics, alongside major

international institutions and bodies. The Forum also

signed an agreement with the Vatican's College of Life

and the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion.”

He emphasised the need for international cooperation,

solidarity, and proactive action to navigate the mixed

blessings and challenges presented by AI
