Infos

This edited volume brings together leading experts to explore the impact of disruptive technologies across a spectrum of Islamic countries and Muslim societies. Spanning artificial intelligence, science and technology, health and education, food systems, and fintech, the seventeen chapters of this collection offer a diverse array of perspectives.

Contributors to this volume from across the world — including Islamic countries such as Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye — provide in-depth analyses, revealing how disruptive technologies are transforming Muslim societies, and the subtle nuances shaping their impact. Together, the chapters show that these technologies tend to drive substantial change in Muslim societies, but the nature and extent of these shifts vary, sometimes mirroring developments in the West but often diverging due to distinct cultural and ethical contexts. An essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving technological landscape of the Islamic World.
