Artificial Intelligence Efforts in Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis: A Study on Rohingya Refugees

Abstract

Efforts to address the humanitarian crises among Rohingya refugees, including violence against women, human trafficking, and other inequalities, have been insufficient. This paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can help mitigate these issues through a qualitative approach. Data was gathered via questionnaires and supported by various relevant sources, followed by thorough analysis. The findings indicate that AI can play a significant role in addressing humanitarian crises by improving mental health services, detecting potential security threats, aiding in language translation, and enhancing cybersecurity. However, the use of AI also presents challenges, such as biased or inaccurate data, threats to data security, reduced human skills, privacy concerns, and job displacement. The Qur’an encourages the use of the universe’s resources wisely, suggesting that technology, when used judiciously, aligns with Islamic teachings. Thus, AI technology can be beneficial if applied responsibly and within ethical guidelines.
