In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we sit down with Waleed Kadous, one of the leading minds in AI, to explore how this technology is transforming education, politics, geopolitics, and even the future of religious authority. As governments, corporations, and global powers race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems, where do Muslims fit into this conversation? From the rise of Anthropic and the global AI race to the philosophical assumptions embedded within today's models, this discussion examines why AI is far more than just another technological breakthrough. It is a civilisational shift that Muslims cannot afford to ignore. About Waleed Kadous: Waleed Kadous is Chief Scientist at Anyscale and one of the leading voices in artificial intelligence. Previously, he held senior engineering leadership roles at Google and Uber, where he served as Engineering Strategy Lead to the CTO. With expertise spanning AI, machine learning, robotics, and large-scale engineering systems, Waleed has spent his career developing cutting-edge technologies while helping shape the future of the industry. His work sits at the intersection of technical innovation, strategy, and the societal impact of AI.
