THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE QURAN

The latest and most thrilling addition to this list is Artificial Intelligencesupported GPT. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is described as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is an AI chatbot that uses natural language processing to create humanlike conversational dialogue. The language model can respond to questions and compose various written content, including articles, social media posts, essays, code, and emails. Among many of its uses, ChatGPT is being used to convert any book into a dialogue or conversation form. Instead of searching through a book for a particular passage, ChatGPT user may direct a question to ChatGPT and get an answer in a form and language he desires. Sensing the great importance that ChatGPT has, CPS International, New Delhi has taken cognizance of this development and developed a WhatsAppintegrated chatbot that is based on Maulana Wahiduddin Khan’s English translation and commentary of the Quran as well as other English works. This chatbot is named as Spiritual Message. You may ask a question on any topic related to the Quran, spirituality, peace, art of life, biography of the Prophet, and the Spiritual Message chatbot will provide valuable lessons from these sources. Maulana wrote in his Introduction of the Quran translation: ‘One special aspect of the Quran is that at any moment its reader can consult its Writer, put his questions, and receive answers, for the Writer of the Quran is God Himself. He is a living God. As man’s Creator, He directly hears and answers man’s call.’ CPS International is doing its best to make the Quran available to entire humanity and in a way so that everyone has access to the message of the Quran.
