The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has marked a turning point for contemporary technology, and its impact has extended to include changing the features of most vital sectors, including educational, healthcare, economic, and political systems. However, several questions emerge about its strengths and weaknesses, the way it relates to humans, how to interact with it in the digital world, and what it will look like in the future. The scarcity of studies addressing the theoretical and ethical aspects of AI is more evident in the Arab world, deepening the gap between keeping pace with technological progress and critical, theoretical, and ethical analysis of AI that works to ensure it is compatible with the cultural and societal values of the Arab individual. This research presents a critical attempt to uncover some ethical and technical challenges facing intelligent systems today, to anticipate the future of AI, and to suggest ways to improve its use and development in the Arab world.
