Jakarta, INTI - Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Nezar Patria, emphasized that such technology must be trained with accurate and reliable data.
Without proper data training, AI systems risk producing biased or misleading answers, particularly on sensitive topics such as religious teachings.
“For platforms like Aiman and Aisha, if the data is not properly trained, the system could provide responses that deviate from religious principles,” Deputy Minister Nezar explained during the launch of the Aiman and Aisha Islamic AI Platform in Central Jakarta on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
He commended the platform developers for implementing risk mitigation measures, ensuring the AI avoids answering sensitive or critical questions.
“This is good, as there is now a filter for sensitive questions. The system will directly recommend consulting an ustaz or other experts,” Nezar added.
The Deputy Minister expressed hope that Aiman and Aisha could become a meaningful breakthrough in applying AI in religious contexts.
“With more intensive development, Aiman and Aisha can become smarter and capable of addressing a wider range of questions,” he concluded.
Enhancing Religious Knowledge for Gen Z and Millennials
Ahmad Imam Mujaddid Rais, Chairman of the Lazismu PP Muhammadiyah Board, noted that Gen Z and millennials often seek religious answers via online search engines.
However, online sources are often incomplete or inaccurate.
“The presence of Aiman and Aisha enriches the Islamic knowledge base in society, fostering a more harmonious understanding of religion,” Ahmad said.
He also encouraged the platform to integrate references from Islamic scriptures and scholars’ fatwas to provide users with more comprehensive and precise information.
Conclusion
The Aiman and Aisha platform represents a significant step forward in leveraging AI for religious education. By combining accurate data, ethical safeguards, and expert references, it has the potential to provide reliable guidance for a new generation while mitigating risks of bias and misinformation. With continued development, the platform could reshape how communities access and understand Islamic knowledge in the digital era.
