From Al-Khwarizmi to AI: The Algorithmic Legacy Shaping the Digital Age (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892489379)

From Al-Khwarizmi to AI bridges a thousand-year intellectual journey, tracing the algorithmic roots of artificial intelligence to the pioneering genius of 9th-century scholar Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. This groundbreaking work highlights the underrecognized contributions of Islamic civilization to the digital age, showing how structured reasoning and algorithmic logic laid the foundations for today's AI revolution. Spanning seven chapters, the book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of AI's global impact-examining ethical governance, cybersecurity, education, humanitarian aid, and the integration of Arabic in natural language processing. Al-Khwarizmi's legacy is presented not merely as a historical milestone, but as a living framework for ethical, inclusive, and human-centered technology. Blending historical insight with practical analysis, the book invites scholars, technologists, and policymakers to approach AI through a culturally grounded, ethically aware lens. It is a timely call to align AI's future with justice, sustainability, and shared human values-reimagining progress as a continuation of collective wisdom.
