Using artificial intelligence

Question
Salam Alaikom
Is learning and using artificial intelligence haram ? some part of it
try to simulate how a human brain works like artificial neural
networksto learn over time and became more efficient at a certain
programmed task. May Allah reward you.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
Amongst the important basic rules and principles of the Islamic
religion is that all things are permissible except what involves an
Islamic prohibition. Allaah The Almighty says (what means):
·{It is He who created foryou all of that which is on the earth.} [Quran 2:29]
·{And He has subjected toyou whatever is in the heavens and whatever
is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people
who give thought.} [Quran 45:13]
Islam came to make humans happy and prescribed everything that
benefits them. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with using such
technologies that you have called artificial intelligence to make
machines help in fulfilling some of the interests of people. Amongst
them are the robot technologies; so it is permissible to manufacture
them and use them in every Islamically lawful matter that benefits
people.
Allaah Knows best.
