SUMMARY:SHARIAsource Lab :: Hackathon: Arabic OCR Community Scribes\, Program in Islamic Law\, March 2\, 2024 @ 12:00 – 4:00 pm
DESCRIPTION:On March 2 from 12-4pm US EST at the Program in Islamic Law’s office in Austin Hall and via Zoom\, our SHARIAsource Lab will lead a Hackathon: Arabic OCR Community Scribes event [registration link to come]. Join us for a chance to help write the next chapter in the history of the Arabic script where we bring our efforts together to finally develop a dependable program that will allow texts using Arabic script to be machine readable. This work in checking and reviewing documents will allow scholars to access\, search and explore historical and contemporary documents like never before. No knowledge of coding or programming is needed but knowledge of Arabic script is a must to train the machine learning program to recognize them. Lunch will be provided for those who RSVP. Drop by for however long you can to meet\, chat\, and transcribe!

SUMMARY:Workshop: ASLH Early Career Virtual Workshop\, June 30\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n\nSubject Fields: Law and Legal History\n\n\nASLH Early Career (Virtual) Legal History Workshop \nDeadline for Applications:  June 30\, 2024 \nThe American Society for Legal History (ASLH) is delighted to announce a new virtual initiative – the Early Career (Virtual) Legal History Workshop – designed to provide support and intellectual community to early career scholars working in legal history\, broadly defined. \nApplications are invited from early career\, pre-tenure scholars\, publishing in English\, who have completed PhDs or JDs (those working toward a JD/PhD must have completed the PhD).  Scholars with expertise in all chronological periods and geographical fields are encouraged to apply\, as are scholars who may not (yet) identify as legal historians. Though time zones present a challenge\, one of the goals of the ASLH’s virtual initiatives is to increase opportunities for engagement between international and U. S. based scholars.  With this in mind\, we encourage international scholars to apply. \nFor more details\, visit here.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: “Islam and Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities\,” North American Association of Islamic and Muslim Studies\, November 20\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nThe North American Association of Islamic and Muslim Studies (NAAIMS) has issued a call for papers for a fall conference on “Islam and AI: Challenges and Opportunities.” The conference will be held online on Nov. 20th. Abstracts are due July 11th. \nInformation technology\, broadly defined\, refers to the ways in which information is presented\, preserved\, accessed\, and shared. Just as tag paper and the rise of books in the ninth century revolutionized the preservation and transmission of knowledge and information from primarily oral/aural modes to written ones and the advent of the printing press in the fifteenth century expanded the transmission of knowledge in writing\, digitization and the Internet have granted unprecedented access to information and ideas. Today\, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing research and content creation. The conference will explore the challenges\, opportunities\, and responsibilities presented by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) for Islamic and Muslim studies. \nTo understand how A.I. could have an impact on Islamic scholarship\, one needs to review how the “authenticity” of religious knowledge was ensured through the decades-old process of the transmission of Islamic knowledge since the 7th century. This age-old transmission process (embodied in the isnads) preserved the historical background of Islamic scholarship and heritage. Could A.I. disrupt this mode of transmission? Could A.I. with its strength in language and unparalleled level of creativity become a religious authority and alter Islamic beliefs and practices? \nIf digitized data stored in A.I.’s database pertaining to ethnic and cultural knowledge of a people is inaccurate\, could A.I. distort the history of a people for future generations? Also\, if A.I.’s digitized data excludes historical aspects of a people’s culture\, like religion and language\, could the true history of that culture disappear or be distorted? \nWe invite a diverse range of papers from professors in the humanities\, and social and natural sciences. Some of the questions that papers may address include\, but are not limited to\, the following: \n\nAuthenticity of Islamic Religious Authority: The Ulama vs A.I.\nCan the Development of A.I.’s Algorithms Be Monitored to Align with Islamic Moral Standards?\nTraining A.I. in Classical Islamic Sources\nRigor and Responsibility in Using A.I. for Research in Islamic and Muslim Studies\nEnsuring Accuracy in A.I. Generated Content about Islam and Muslims\nOpportunities and Challenges of Using A.I. as a Teaching Assistant in Islamic or Muslim Studies\nAssessing the Breadth\, Depth and Accuracy of A.I.’s Knowledge about Islam\nAddressing Hegemony and Cultural Biases in A.I.\nA.I.\, Ethics and Morality\n\nFor applications details and more information\, visit the link here.
