Ethical and Methodological Safeguards in AI
Research gap analysis derived from 2 computer_science papers in our local library.
The gap
The papers collectively leave open how to implement ethical safeguards and methodological rigor in AI systems across diverse applications such as companion AI, sustainability management, and education policy.
Consensus across the literature
While the importance of ethical safeguards is acknowledged, specific mechanisms for their implementation are lacking.

- The Qur'an and Mathematics: The Dimension of Tawhid and Knowledge in the Perspective of Afzalur Rahman (2026) · doi
The paper proposes that 'Qur'an-based algorithms' could visualize divine order while maintaining ethical safeguards, but provides no concrete specification of what algorithmic structures would operationalize tawhid principles or how ethical safeguards would be computationally implemented and validated in such systems.
