Conference in Morocco to Discuss ‘Quran Interpretation and Artificial Intelligence’
The city of Meknes will host the second edition of the international scientific event organized by the Ibn Al-Jazari Center for Studies and Research, in cooperation with several national and international scientific, academic, and civil society organizations, ammonnews reported.
Titled “Quran Interpretation and Artificial Intelligence: Towards a Methodological Perspective and a Guiding Function,” it will take place on July 18 and 19, 2026.
This scientific gathering is placed within a new intellectual framework that acknowledges the centrality of the Holy Quran as the main source of guidance and legislation for the Muslim community, while at the same time consciously interacting with the developments of the age of artificial intelligence.
The conference aims to explore the potential of modern digital technologies in the service of Quranic interpretation within a scientific and ethical framework that preserves the sanctity of the Quranic text and upholds its fundamental principles and objectives.
The Meknes conference seeks to develop a valid methodological perspective for what is known as “smart interpretation”, based on the combination of the heritage of traditional interpretation with artificial intelligence.
In addition to creating an international research network that brings together universities and specialized scientific centers, this perspective aims to develop a global charter for the ethics of artificial intelligence in Quranic studies.

The scientific program includes several topics, the most important of which are the theoretical foundations of smart interpretation, natural language processing of the Quranic text, the study of the structure of smart interpretation platforms, as well as legal and ethical guidelines for the use of algorithms in the interpretation of religious texts. The second day of the conference will be dedicated to practical workshops led by experts in interpretation and artificial intelligence, for the benefit of students, researchers and interested parties with the aim of transforming the conference’s results from a theoretical level to practical applications.
The organizing committee has set February 28, 2026 as the deadline for submitting research abstracts via email to centrejazari19@gmail.com. The deadline for submitting full research papers is May 30, 2026.
This scholarly event seeks to bring together professors, researchers, graduate students, programmers, and institutions and centers interested in Quranic and technical studies.
