From Al-Khwarizmi to AI: Tracing the Algorithmic Legacy that Powers Today's Digital World

A pioneering new book by Dr. Mustafa Osman I.E., From Al-Khwarizmi to AI: The Algorithmic Legacy Shaping the Digital Age (ISBN: 979-8-89248-937-9 [https://www.generis-publishing.com/book.php?title=strong-from-al-khwarizmi-to-ai-the-algorithmic-legacy-shaping-the-digital-age-strong-2688]), redefines how people understand the deep historical roots of modern artificial intelligence. Far from being a purely contemporary phenomenon, AI is the result of centuries of human inquiry into logic, mathematics, and systematic reasoning. This timely and illuminating work brings to light the remarkable yet often-overlooked contributions of Islamic scientific thought, with a particular focus on the enduring influence of 9th-century polymath Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi - the very figure from whose name the term "algorithm" is derived.

Dr. Osman, a distinguished Professor of Peace and Conflict Resolution at Hamad Bin Khalifa University and former Foreign Minister of Sudan, masterfully weaves together historical scholarship and forward-looking analysis. Drawing on his expertise in both policy and academic research, he presents a compelling narrative of how algorithmic thinking shaped early knowledge systems across the Islamic Golden Age. These early intellectual foundations, the book argues, continue to inform the logic of modern computational systems-and offer valuable ethical insights for today's rapidly evolving AI landscape.

The book is structured around seven meticulously researched chapters that explore a range of pressing topics: ethical AI governance, cybersecurity in a hyperconnected world, humanitarian applications of artificial intelligence, the role of AI in education, and the integration of the Arabic language in natural language processing (NLP) systems. Dr. Osman underscores the need to embed AI development within broader conversations about justice, sustainability, inclusivity, and intercultural respect.

What sets From Al-Khwarizmi to AI apart is its insistence that the future of technology cannot be divorced from the past. By reconnecting with the algorithmic traditions of the Islamic world, the book challenges today's technologists, ethicists, and policymakers to think beyond narrow, Western-centric narratives. Instead, it proposes a more holistic, pluralistic framework for AI development - one that draws on diverse knowledge systems and prioritizes human dignity and moral accountability.

This is an essential read for scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers seeking a culturally grounded, historically rich, and ethically informed perspective on one of the most transformative forces of the time. From Al-Khwarizmi to AI is available for purchase on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6JS17T7] and other major platforms. For interviews, review copies, or speaking engagements, contact below.
