He said, “Providing a list of damages caused by artificial intelligence requires a structural framework that involves technical, ethical, social and economical aspects” proposing that these damages be categorized in five classes: fiqh, security-political, systematic-technical, economic and social-cultural.
The cleric said,” To mention the damages only is necessary but not enough. He said,” The existential and philosophical threats must be analyzed and documented with clear proofs.”
He referred to superintelligence and lack of long-run control over independent smart systems and also leaving the key decisions to be made by irresponsible systems among such threats.
Hujjat-ul-Islam Shahriari stressed more consideration on the current applications of artificial intelligence among them the smart weapons used in assassination of the former Hamas leaders, Ismail Haniyah and Yahya Sinwar.
He said,” The occupying regime has smart weapons, nuclear arms and chemical weapons and it is upon the fiqh associations to explain ban on using these weapons.”
The senior cleric warned against the occupying Israeli regime’s use of such weapons calling that a serious threat for global peace and human honor.
The cleric called for choosing analytical approaches in contrast with the alarm-centered approaches.
