Abstract
This article presents a brief review of the need to regulate research and applications of “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) within the concept of “Responsible AI,” with a focus on the ethical dimension. The literature indicates that the field of AI is still developing, and there are diverse views on efforts to regulate it. The article focuses in particular on issues related to implanting electronic chips in the brain and creating brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), especially the problem of the fusion of responsibility between humans and machines. It then discusses this issue from an Arab-Islamic worldview perspective and deduces the ethical conditions for such applications that ensure the person’s responsibility for his actions. These conditions are that activities be limited to necessary cases; that the inner workings of the implant be fully transparent; that the implant perform exactly as the user intends; and that the user become fully responsible for the actions that result from his use of the implant.
