Building the Academic Foundation
for Halal AI Governance

Our audit methodology is not opinion — it is peer-reviewed science. Every compliance criterion is grounded in published, reproducible research.

We do not guess. We prove. With 9 publications, our audit methodology is built on peer-reviewed data science. Frameworks currently submitted to IEEE, Springer, and Wiley. — Research Statement, Maqasid AI Labs
