NIST Framework 1.0  To explore threat modelling for societal risks from AI, I read up on the NIST Framework and made a baseline NIST User Profile for the use case of: “LLM Public Use In Islamic Jurisprudence And Theology By Minors”:   NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.docx This taught me what NIST is good at, what its not so good at, and how we can improve it. What is NIST good at? NIST is quite useful in identifying which actors exist at each stage of the AI lifecycle, and what risks pertain to each actor at every stage. This systematic evaluation helps formulate and expand your thoughts on the reach of your system. NIST also works quite well for specific domain risk analysis. What is NIST not so good at? NIST does not provide guidance for analysing risk presented by technologies that present cross-domain risks with different risk severity and probability profiles for each domain. The NIST cross-sectoral profile on Generative Artificial Intelligence highlight...

Islam x AI Overview This blog post outlines why the Muslim community should engage with the development and conversation of AI.  This post is targeted at a Muslim audience. There is a lot that can be said about how the Muslim community – with all of its scholarly brilliance, political rollercoasters and diverse, rich capabilities – can contribute in the conversation of AI. Importantly, we have, for the past century or two, been a rather reactive community, tossed about amidst an ocean of political strive, economic struggle and moral disparity. However, we have, today, incredible resource and capacity within our community: high degrees of education, fair penetration in global economy and (to a lesser extent) politics, and a retention and nurturing of our spiritual wellbeing. We are by no means wealthy in any of these domains, but at least sufficient to grow something collectively. Using these resources, how can we grow a collective, proactive response to AI? Here, I conceive of...
