1 00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:01,240 We'll start. 2 00:00:01,780 --> 00:00:01,900 All right. 3 00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:02,920 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, 4 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,900 the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 5 00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:05,060 the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 6 00:00:05,060 --> 00:00:06,060 and the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 7 00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:07,060 and the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 8 00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:08,060 and the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 9 00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:09,060 and the Most Gracious, the Most Gracious, 10 00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:11,940 I'm going to be talking a little bit about the exact question that was asked, 11 00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,840 which is, how can we use AI to both ensure the veracity, 12 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:24,500 and correctness of what we say, that it captures our voices, and also that we can use it to 13 00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:25,760 actually amplify our voices. 14 00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:31,220 And so what I thought I would do today is talk a little bit about my methodology and 15 00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:31,900 how I do it. 16 00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:35,580 But before we get much further, I just want to make this available. 17 00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,780 The slides for today are available at that address. 18 00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:43,560 You can scan this QR code because there's a little bit of homework that I'm going to 19 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:50,880 give you in terms of what you can do after this meeting to actually start to build on what it is 20 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:58,600 that we have. So a little bit about me. I speak a lot about AI and Islam. I also build systems. So 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:06,320 I've built an AI assistant called askansari.ai, which uses AI to improve the quality of like 22 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,840 ensure that it gives Islamically correct answers. And it's one of the oldest of these. I also teach 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,660 an AI for Imam's course. I've presented it about four times in the last year. 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,880 And also I've done interviews and cooperative work 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,420 with One Path, Thinking Muslim, Productive Muslim, so I know a little bit about 26 00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:28,620 my time. So today's path, 27 00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:32,620 inshallah, I want to share one of the biggest problems with 28 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,620 AI is everything is topsy-turvy, right? It's very, very 29 00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,780 chaotic. So I want to give you four timeless principles 30 00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:43,280 because the tools and everything else will change. 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,400 But I think that these four principles should equip you 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240 with the skills you need to adapt as you move forward. 33 00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:55,420 And then I want to take one project that I did, start to finish, 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,940 and analyze all of the different stages, 35 00:01:57,940 --> 00:02:02,320 make sure that it's clear how I made sure my voice came through 36 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,260 and how I used AI to amplify my voice. 37 00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,880 So let's get stuck into it. 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,080 But these are the four timeless principles that I think you need to think about as you use AI for content creation. 39 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,220 The point here is that everyone's flow is going to be different. 40 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,500 You work on different domains. 41 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:24,460 I tend to work on interviews and presentations. 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,660 You may work on short-form media or any of these other topics. 43 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:30,620 But these general skills I hope to use. 44 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:35,020 I'm just giving you a rough overview of the tools that I use a lot. 45 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,440 My main tool is Claude Code. 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,000 I know it says code in the name, but if you want to invest a little bit in learning how it works, 47 00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:49,320 it is by far the most powerful system out there for doing things like this. 48 00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:55,540 I tend to prefer the Claude models because A, Anthropic is a more ethical company than OpenAI, 49 00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:57,500 and B, I think it writes better. 50 00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:01,520 For some tasks like research, I tend to also use Gemini.ai. 51 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,280 We'll talk a little bit about the script, which is an AI-based video editing platform. 52 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,840 and also my favorite voice and dubbing system from 11 Labs. 53 00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:13,120 And we'll take it from there. 54 00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,260 So the first important principle I think we need to keep in mind 55 00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:21,460 is you have to have a very clear idea in your head 56 00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:25,660 about what AI is for and what it is not for. 57 00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:27,900 And so the way I would characterize it 58 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,080 is you must understand what you bring to the table. 59 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,100 And what you bring to the table is the core message, 60 00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:36,940 the Nia, the intention, the experience. 61 00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,040 You've lived through things that AI cannot experience. 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,420 And finally, your understanding of the audience. 63 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,960 So I want to talk a little bit about this. 64 00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:50,380 When you start on an article or a video or anything else, 65 00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:53,000 really the key thing you have to think about is 66 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,060 how do you want people to feel differently, 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,200 believe differently or behave differently afterwards. 68 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,500 And that's very tied to your Nia in terms of like 69 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,140 why you are producing this particular content asset. 70 00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:06,140 And that NIA has to come from you. 71 00:04:06,220 --> 00:04:07,400 It can't come from the AI. 72 00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:11,300 If you start to use AI for NIA, it gets really crazy. 73 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,880 It doesn't really work out, and I'll explain why in a moment. 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,840 The second thing is understanding what AI brings. 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,520 And I think what AI brings is a sounding board for your ideas, 76 00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:26,620 a way to think about creative options and to enhance creative options. 77 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,980 It's a really great research tool for finding out information 78 00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:33,480 that can create the foundation of your articles. 79 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:36,780 And it's also a great tool for amplifying your voice 80 00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:40,980 in terms of getting your access to audiences, 81 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,700 giving you the ability to change formats and do more. 82 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:51,040 So here's what I think AI should not be used for. 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,380 And this is really important. 84 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,440 I think it's important to understand 85 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,020 that AI cannot have Nia, right? 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,100 Because Nia is about accountability 87 00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,320 and what you do for Allah, right? 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,700 And so if you start to use AI to substitute for your niya, 89 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:08,500 for your goals and say things like, 90 00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,780 give me 10 ideas for videos that I could create 91 00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:13,920 for increasing my views, 92 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,860 it kind of turns the project into a bit of a mess 93 00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:20,460 because it's like if the niya is confused, 94 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,960 the outcome will be confused too. 95 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:28,480 And my pet peeve is using AI to blow up content 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,760 because I'm going to, usually what happens is I have a prompt. 97 00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:33,640 I'm going to type it into the AI. 98 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,040 And then sometimes what I'm doing with seeing with some people 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800 is that AI blows up into three pages. 100 00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:42,240 And then the first thing I do after I get their three-page document 101 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,120 and I can tell that it's full of AI stuff 102 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,340 is using a prompt of my own to summarize it. 103 00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,440 So why not just cut out the middleman 104 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,480 and just send me the prompt that you gave in the first place, right? 105 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:54,260 And so I really want to urge this. 106 00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:56,700 And I think what's going to happen as we go forward in time 107 00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,500 is that people are going to detect the AI slot very well. 108 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,440 And really what you should be doing is using AI to improve on the quality 109 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960 rather than to save you time necessarily. 110 00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:13,480 So this is something I care very much about, 111 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,060 which is AI can save you a lot of time. 112 00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:18,940 AI can help you go from one piece of content a week 113 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:21,600 to five pieces of content a week if you wanted to. 114 00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:25,780 But the question is, do you use AI to save you time? 115 00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:28,580 or do you use AI to push the limits 116 00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:31,100 of what the quality of what you can do is? 117 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,300 And I really urge you as you think through AI 118 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:35,540 and navigate that terrain 119 00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:39,140 to think about not just how AI can save you time 120 00:06:39,140 --> 00:06:42,400 but how can it raise the quality of the work that it's producing. 121 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,400 And if we can do that 122 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,700 I think there's a very good opportunity for us 123 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:50,380 to benefit from AI instead of being harmed by it. 124 00:06:50,380 --> 00:07:03,600 The second point that I'd like to raise is with AI, it's very important to think about building a car versus building a factory. 125 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,740 And I think when you think about building, so what I mean by a car is you might have one piece of content that you want to build, right? 126 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,480 And so you use AI kind of piecewise to create that new content, and then you move on to the next project. 127 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,700 and it's almost like you're starting from scratch, 128 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,940 like if you were building a car. 129 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,180 That's not the way to think about AI. 130 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,000 The correct way to think about AI 131 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,080 is it's a factory for making content. 132 00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:29,600 And just like if you were building a factory, 133 00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:30,920 you make your first piece of, 134 00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:32,260 you make your first car, 135 00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:34,160 then you want to improve it. 136 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,220 And so the next car you make is better. 137 00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:39,880 But you've learned a lot of stuff 138 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,920 about how to make cars. 139 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,620 You've maybe built custom tools 140 00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:44,140 that help you make cars better. 141 00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:47,700 and every car that you make after it 142 00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,320 should be better than the car before it. 143 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,900 I want us to think as factory. 144 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,160 I mean, I don't want us to like pump out a lot of stuff. 145 00:07:54,220 --> 00:07:55,300 That's not what I mean by factory. 146 00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:59,040 But what I'm saying is you should simultaneously build the... 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,320 You should simultaneously build the production line 148 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,840 as well as the final product. 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,300 And what that means in the case of AI 150 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:15,740 is a memory of your past activities, what you've done in the past. 151 00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:23,780 I feel like a lot of times, and really the way you do this will vary from time to place, 152 00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:29,140 but for me personally, I like markdown files. 153 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,920 Markdown files are kind of like the lingua franca of AI. 154 00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:37,540 It's just basic text with markup things that say this is bolded and this is a headline 155 00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:38,480 and all that kind of stuff. 156 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,680 But for you, it might be a shared Google Drive with your team. 157 00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,060 It might be a Notion. 158 00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:47,840 But the key point that your memory system for your AI has to have 159 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,520 is that every time you produce a new asset, 160 00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:53,220 it updates the memory of what you've done before. 161 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,160 And it has access the next time it builds to your previous content. 162 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,220 So here's an example of how my file structure is laid out. 163 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,340 So, for example, I might have a particular presentation I'm giving, 164 00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:13,620 like this one. At the top of that, there'll be a style guide. And that is usually the 165 00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:19,120 same as my general style guide. And it tells you exactly how to build particular things. 166 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,300 And then I'll go through from starting from the heart of the article, you know, when we 167 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,800 talked about the intention, moving through the brained up stage, outline stage, the research 168 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,260 state, and then the final product. So you can see each of these documents here is kind 169 00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:37,740 of a different stage of the development of this process. But the idea is when I come 170 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:41,260 to the next thing, this is already there, already accessible to the AI. 171 00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:50,120 So the idea is that factory is now building from all of your past assets. 172 00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:58,680 And I think from there, really, this is part of the evolutionary process. 173 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:02,120 Again, remember that car analogy that I gave earlier, if you're building a car. 174 00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:04,600 The first car is going to have a lot of mistakes. 175 00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:06,160 You had a certain vision. 176 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,040 It didn't work out. 177 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,600 that's what it's like working with AI. 178 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,060 The problem is not that the car had a lot of mistakes. 179 00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:14,580 The problem is to guarantee that the car after this one 180 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,140 is better and have less issues than this one. 181 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,740 And the way you do that is you update your tooling. 182 00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:23,900 So for example, if it generates, 183 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:25,300 if AI makes a mistake, 184 00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,300 it's very important that you feed that loop back 185 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,300 and tell it it's being too wordy. 186 00:10:31,940 --> 00:10:33,980 So one of the ways that I've found 187 00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:37,020 to basically extract a style from something 188 00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:40,780 and to make it sound like you, is I'll start with its document, 189 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,760 a particular document that it's written. 190 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,140 I'll say, man, that was complete nonsense. 191 00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:47,700 This is how you should have written it. 192 00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:52,820 And then I'll say, compare A with B and extract my style from it. 193 00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:58,400 One of the great things with AI is you can use it to help keep itself updated. 194 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Right? 195 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,260 And the system gets more like me over time. 196 00:11:03,260 --> 00:11:15,880 The third principle I would posit is really that I think most people use AI in this little box here. 197 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,060 There's a chat window, you type in the chat content, and out comes text. 198 00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:30,440 And that's really a constraining model for how AI can be used. 199 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:37,740 I really want people to expand their understanding of the box that AI lives in and the scope of where AI lives. 200 00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:45,280 So in particular, I want to talk about teaching, learning, connecting, amplifying, and even writing code for some. 201 00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:53,040 So one of the most important things with AI is that it is a teaching tool as well as a creation tool. 202 00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:56,380 You're not sure how to do something? Ask AI how to do it. 203 00:11:56,380 --> 00:12:00,460 and it can be incredibly informative about that 204 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,020 and guide you through the process. 205 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:06,300 The second form of that is if you want your AI 206 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,000 to have special abilities, there are systems now called skills. 207 00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:11,840 It varies from platform to platform, 208 00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:16,300 but think of a skill as a description of... 209 00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:19,000 It's almost like a natural language program 210 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,220 that you give to the AI. 211 00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:24,240 So, for example, I mentioned earlier that I have Ansari, 212 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,260 and we'll talk a bit more about it, 213 00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:32,660 But you can create a skill that says, when you need to check an Islamic fact, use Ansari.ai. 214 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,280 You can create a skill that says, when I want you to produce a dubbed video, here's what I want you to do. 215 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:42,160 And you build these skills as a portfolio over time. 216 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,500 And then the next thing that you can do is you can combine those skills into pipelines. 217 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,800 So you can go from a transcript to soundbites to dubs. 218 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,940 and that factory becomes part of, 219 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,180 that too becomes part of your factory. 220 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,000 So I'm not going to go too deep on this, 221 00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,500 but one of the, that idea of connecting skills, 222 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,340 especially the more powerful systems, 223 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,060 they can write code for you. 224 00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:09,040 And that code can be very powerful. 225 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,220 It can do things like control a browser. 226 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,100 So building these code components 227 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,820 or even if it's just instructions 228 00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:21,240 really can enhance what's possible. 229 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,640 And then finally is its use for amplifying your voice. 230 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040 And I think this is one of the most powerful uses of AI. 231 00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:34,460 And you have to be careful in that transition that it doesn't lose your voice. 232 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,120 But you can start with a transcript. 233 00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:37,860 You can extract sound bites from it. 234 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,360 You can dub it into different languages. 235 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,840 You can have a version of your content that's better suited to young people and for old people. 236 00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:49,920 Really, it gives you the power to pivot and convert the information from one format to another, 237 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,760 whether it's text to audio, audio to video, all of those particular types of things. 238 00:13:56,220 --> 00:14:02,620 But I do want to give you folks a warning that right now, when you use AI for video, it's not quite there yet. 239 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:10,500 My experience is that AI is really, really good with words at the moment, but video is still improving. 240 00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:15,020 And so when you do video, it's going to take a lot more iteration. 241 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,720 The approaches that I've talked a little bit about, 242 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,880 you know, this idea of like you produce something 243 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,860 and then you iterate it. 244 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,260 When it comes to your style, 245 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,480 you might go around three times. 246 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,000 When it comes to video, 247 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,860 you're going to go around 15, 20, 25 times, right? 248 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,260 That's just the nature of where the technology is. 249 00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:32,900 And it will get better over time, 250 00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:34,040 but that's where it is right now. 251 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,980 And then the final principle is always ask for the receipts. 252 00:14:37,980 --> 00:14:39,720 And what I mean by that is, 253 00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,920 AI makes for a really good research tool, 254 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,400 but to get the AI to stay grounded, 255 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720 it's very important for it to have citations, right? 256 00:14:51,460 --> 00:14:55,440 And so the importance here is to ensure 257 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,260 that hallucinations don't creep in, 258 00:14:57,660 --> 00:14:59,420 misinformation doesn't creep in, 259 00:14:59,860 --> 00:15:02,660 that little phrases that are not yours 260 00:15:02,660 --> 00:15:04,520 start to creep into the article, right? 261 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,140 Or little ideas that are not yours start to creep in. 262 00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:12,120 So one way that I do this is whenever you do a, 263 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,480 like you want to do something. 264 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,120 So for example, let's say that I want to find Quranic verses 265 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,780 to help me with a particular project. 266 00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:22,820 Then I will kind of separate the writing of the article 267 00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:24,780 from the research of the article, right? 268 00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,000 So every time I do a little bit of research, 269 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,680 or another example is if I want to look at AI and the environment, 270 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,240 then what I would do is I can write that article separately. 271 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,340 It gets stored as a separate file different from my presentation. 272 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:53,200 And I find if you mix the research stage and the writing stage, that leads to the dilution of your voice and the possibility of inserting errors. 273 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,380 And one trick that I love to do is what I call adversarial review. 274 00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:07,080 So if something's very important, what I might do is I might use one AI, like Claude, to generate the report. 275 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,940 And then I get another AI, like Gemini, to proofread the report. 276 00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:15,560 And so what you can do is you can check different AIs against one another to help you. 277 00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:24,460 And in some cases, what I'll do is I'll have Gemini, Codex, and Claude each do their own research. 278 00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:26,140 You know, these are the three frontier models. 279 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,520 And then I will have another AI that summarizes the findings 280 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,280 and makes sure that there are no gaps between the three different AI systems. 281 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:42,380 and especially for Islamic content we need to focus on the fact that there is still 282 00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:49,140 a tendency and occasionally it happens that AI will fabricate references so what you need to do 283 00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:57,400 is you need to use trusted Islamic sources in arranging that delivery and the great thing is 284 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,820 especially recently is it used to be that there was one tool you could use now there's a lot of 285 00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:05,940 tools. Some of them are commercial, some of them are free. 286 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:07,860 But the 287 00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,860 really cool thing is that there are now benchmarks 288 00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:11,940 that can tell you which of the AIs 289 00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:13,880 that you, the Islamic AI 290 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,860 assistance is better.

472 00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:43,860 Can I ask it about, you know, what are some ideas for visuals 473 00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:45,860 that would convey the magnitude of the change? 474 00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:50,380 What are Quranic verses that I could quote that would make sense, right? 475 00:25:50,780 --> 00:25:55,040 Is there any research on the economic or job career impacts, right? 476 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,960 And it's almost like they follow very naturally from the outline. 477 00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:01,600 But now it's constrained, it understands the context much better, 478 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,880 and it's able to kind of say, 479 00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:05,880 okay, here are the leads past documents, 480 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,340 here are the new research topics that I'm going to do. 481 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,020 But as I mentioned earlier, 482 00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:14,460 it's very important to kind of separate the research from the writing, right? 483 00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,000 Don't just inject the research into the article. 484 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,880 So for example, you know, as we were demonstrating earlier, 485 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,060 you can say something to your AI like, 486 00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:27,540 I want you to use Ansari to verify all the Quranic verses, 487 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,800 all the hadith, make sure. 488 00:26:29,940 --> 00:26:31,400 And you keep the receipts. 489 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,380 So it's literally like, oh yeah, I checked that particular verse. 490 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,380 This one's correct. 491 00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:37,300 This one's not correct. 492 00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:40,620 All this time, you're kind of purifying and improving things. 493 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,120 And then the final step is the conversion to slides. 494 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,180 And the way that I did these slides, I particularly use a system called map. 495 00:26:49,740 --> 00:26:52,660 But, and so it's actually part of my pipeline. 496 00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:54,660 I don't even leave code, right? 497 00:26:54,740 --> 00:26:58,800 But the code code is on the left-hand side and the presentation is on the right-hand side. 498 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,120 And I'm editing both at the same time, 499 00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:04,000 and I'm giving the AI instructions about how to modify. 500 00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,320 But that's not the only way to do it, right? 501 00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:11,300 And again, I'm trying to teach you folks reusable tools, right? 502 00:27:11,860 --> 00:27:14,940 Instead, maybe what you do is your favorite tool is Canva. 503 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:19,940 And so you ask the AI to generate a list of slides with prompts for every slide, 504 00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:24,400 and then you paste the slide descriptions into Canva, 505 00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:26,380 and it produces each slide one by one. 506 00:27:26,380 --> 00:27:28,640 Or you use another AI tool called Gamma. 507 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:40,440 But the idea is you have this process that you've gone through that's at every, say, check for correctness, has amplified your voice because it knew you're near, and has expanded the content that you're interested in. 508 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:47,160 And so I ended up giving this presentation in Canada to about 200 people. 509 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,740 And the video is available online if you want to see it. 510 00:27:51,220 --> 00:27:55,860 But then the other thing that was happening at the same time is I was talking to Mohamed Jalal of the Thinking Muslim. 511 00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:58,080 And he was like, we should do an interview. 512 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,080 And so we had a discussion about like, 513 00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,800 what's the topics that we should talk about? 514 00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:03,700 And I was like, well, actually this thing, 515 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,620 this is my Nia here. 516 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,160 This is kind of why I came to Canada. 517 00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:09,400 Maybe we can start to morph the questions 518 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,120 around the same themes that I was touching on over there. 519 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,440 And so now him and I agree on a set of questions. 520 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,940 There's probably about 60 to 70% overlap 521 00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:19,800 in terms of the content. 522 00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:22,380 But now I know that it's grounded information 523 00:28:22,380 --> 00:28:24,480 and it starts to fill in those questions for me. 524 00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:26,160 And it knows that when I'm talking, 525 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760 so here's the more spontaneous 526 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,680 an interview looks 527 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,800 probably the more preparation 528 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,760 that went into making it. I know that sounds really 529 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,680 ironic but for me to be able 530 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,680 to talk about AI for an hour with Mohammed Jalal 531 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,280 who's like a world class interviewer 532 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,600 I really need to be spot on with my facts 533 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,740 I need to be able to hit points really 534 00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:46,640 well and so that's really 535 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,840 I ended up not reading anything 536 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,580 but it created like a briefing 537 00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:52,660 document and a talking points document for me 538 00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:54,760 that I was then able to just kind of 539 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,680 absorb 540 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,440 and I made one mistake in the interview. 541 00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:00,520 I'm not going to tell you where it is. 542 00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:02,260 It's not in Quran or Hadith. 543 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520 But that is one point that the mistake was from me. 544 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,120 It wasn't even from the AI, right? 545 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,140 Because, you know, people depend on the quality of the information 546 00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:12,320 and it was very important to me to convey that. 547 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,280 But you can see if you listen to the interview, 548 00:29:14,380 --> 00:29:16,940 it's got my style, it's the way that I talk 549 00:29:16,940 --> 00:29:19,740 and it really helped me to amplify that. 550 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,320 So, again, this is reinforcing the second thing, right? 551 00:29:24,380 --> 00:29:25,100 Build the factory. 552 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,860 not just the first car. 553 00:29:27,420 --> 00:29:29,740 I think the way many people would build a talk like that 554 00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:30,820 is almost from scratch again. 555 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,900 But the content is already there. 556 00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:34,360 AI already knows how to use it. 557 00:29:34,820 --> 00:29:35,580 Reuse the content. 558 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,460 And that interview went pretty well, I think. 559 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,500 But there were a few questions there that I hadn't covered. 560 00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:46,580 In particular, Jalena was like, 561 00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:48,420 what about the environmental impacts of AI? 562 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,320 And I was like, I'm probably not up to date with this one. 563 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,200 I should go and research about it 564 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,100 because I've heard some stuff about liquid cooling 565 00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:00,340 and is that really the solution? 566 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,360 And then Google comes out and says it costs nine cents per... 567 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,440 If you use AI once a day, 568 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,460 it uses about the same power 569 00:30:10,460 --> 00:30:12,460 as dropping the kids off to school. 570 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,420 I'm starting to really try to formulate my opinion. 571 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,360 And again, this is a situation where I went to all three, 572 00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:20,940 asked them, and then put together a report. 573 00:30:20,940 --> 00:30:24,480 So, and so we can check it in that way. 574 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:29,980 Now, it turned out that, you know, on the way here to Turkey, I stopped in London. 575 00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:31,840 And so some folks there asked me to give a talk. 576 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,800 And then they said, 15 minutes. 577 00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:38,400 We're going to give you, and my previous talk was 75 minutes long, right? 578 00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:45,920 But the cool thing is, because I had that content, all I had to do was say, here are the four points I want to make. 579 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,260 It's going to be more serious. 580 00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:49,120 There are these benchmarks, whatever else. 581 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,220 and it took me about 30 minutes to prepare a 15 minute presentation 582 00:30:54,220 --> 00:30:57,080 and that's much better than my usual preparation. 583 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,540 Usually for me the ratio is 10 to 15, right? 584 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,860 So if I'm giving one hour of content I need 15 hours of preparation. 585 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,300 But AI really helped me to get a start and then I went through it. 586 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,120 But I know because everything had been previously vetted 587 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,940 that it wasn't going to insert like made up fabricated hadith. 588 00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:17,340 So you can see that now I have this chain of 589 00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:22,660 I started with the six bullets. I started with the Nia. We converted it into a one-hour talk. 590 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:29,260 We took it to podcasts. We created a 15-minute voice. Each one hopefully has my voice. And 591 00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:35,140 literally, in the case of the interview, it has my voice. And each verified ones, right? 592 00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:42,480 And then we can talk about how to amplify your voice, right? Because this comes out. And of 593 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,500 course, the thing goes on YouTube, I want to post it on LinkedIn, right? How do I do that? 594 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:56,760 I could write the LinkedIn myself, but what I can also do is I know the AI has a skill that is very 595 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:03,000 good at writing LinkedIn posts. It doesn't quite get my tone right, so I edit it. And then, this is 596 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,000 the important part, I close the loop. So I say, next time when you write a LinkedIn post, this is 597 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,620 what I want you to do differently, right? 598 00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:12,320 That's a very important part of this. 599 00:32:13,420 --> 00:32:16,260 And the great thing is these tools are now so advanced. 600 00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:19,800 Many of these AI models have what's called browser mode 601 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,680 or browser control. 602 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,900 And so LinkedIn is really annoying 603 00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,840 because they don't have an API. 604 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,620 They don't have a tool that allows you to automatically post. 605 00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:30,520 So what happens is the AI instead hijacks 606 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,820 your current browser or whatever 607 00:32:33,820 --> 00:32:35,820 and starts to fill in the fields for you. 608 00:32:36,420 --> 00:32:37,600 So these tools are now getting, 609 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,380 it becomes very possible to automate this even more. 610 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,220 And so another way to amplify your voice 611 00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:48,540 is to now take that same set of content, 612 00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:50,980 pull it into a tool. 613 00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:53,400 I use Descript, but you can see over here, 614 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,660 this tool is, it has a transcript 615 00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:57,200 of everything that I've said. 616 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,900 It's breaking this video up into different sections. 617 00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:02,720 It's even highlighted places where I say, 618 00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:05,560 ah, and mm-hmm, and all of that kind of stuff. 619 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,920 and I can literally edit the text part, the script. 620 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,860 And let's say I went, ah, or something like that. 621 00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:15,100 Delete it from the script and it disappears from the video. 622 00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,540 It just cuts the video for you. 623 00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,000 But this is really a Swiss army knife of a tool 624 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,380 because another thing I can ask it, for example, 625 00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:24,940 and I have this open here. 626 00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:26,040 Where are we? 627 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,320 Is I was like, you know what? 628 00:33:30,420 --> 00:33:32,680 I'm not quite sure what are the things 629 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,160 that I want to export from this. 630 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,920 So have an analyst, you know, what do you think are going to be the parts that resonate with people? 631 00:33:39,620 --> 00:33:40,980 And so it will go through the whole script. 632 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,160 It might pick three or four different ones. 633 00:33:43,780 --> 00:33:45,320 I asked it to produce five. 634 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,680 And I'm sorry, I can't increase the thing on this one. 635 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:55,340 But it's basically a list of the five different points that it chose, right?

672 00:35:26,860 --> 00:35:27,860 Like this... 673 00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:33,140 And a 77-minute video, which is how long it turned out to be with Mohamed Jalal, 674 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,340 is not going to work on YouTube shots, right? 675 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:37,680 It's not going to work on Instagram, right? 676 00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:42,120 So you have to kind of find the juicy bits there that you can do that. 677 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,460 And what I'm saying is it's actually relatively easy with the new tools 678 00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:47,720 to do those types of things. 679 00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:49,440 All right. 680 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,120 And so... 681 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:57,120 So here's an example of... 682 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,700 a short video that was excerpted from this system. 683 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,020 And then you can do some very interesting things. 684 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,520 Now, this is more cutting-edge, 685 00:36:05,740 --> 00:36:07,280 but remember, I'm trying to educate you folks 686 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,740 for what might be possible in future. 687 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,660 We are now at the point where dubbing 688 00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:13,660 is becoming a serious option, right? 689 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,420 And we are an ummah that has many, many different languages amongst us. 690 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,980 And so, you know, for the Arabic speakers here, 691 00:36:21,020 --> 00:36:21,680 let me know what you think. 692 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,580 Which is what they use for choosing this. 693 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,700 And you know how Project Maven was used? 694 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,320 in Iran. 695 00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:32,800 So that's the English version. 696 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,160 Right? 697 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,360 The lip sync is off, right? 698 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,240 But it's my voice. 699 00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:49,280 It's literally my voice, right? 700 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,280 Like, does it sound like me? 701 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,240 If I spoke Arabic, it would sound pretty much like this. 702 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:06,120 like Lavender, and then it even uses Egyptian dialect, 703 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,120 which I think is really interesting. 704 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,120 It still adds the arms and the arms as well. 705 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,120 Yeah, it does. 706 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:17,120 But again, it's really showing you what's becoming capable. 707 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,120 And the crazy thing was how easy this was. 708 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,120 It was literally, I uploaded the English version to this company called Eleven Labs 709 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,080 and said, dub it into Arabic. 710 00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:29,400 And it took about, it said, 711 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,780 it's going to take 12,000 credits. 712 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,160 I don't know how much that is. 713 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,420 And it took about five minutes for me to do that, right? 714 00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:39,180 Now, that's starting to be a very, very interesting way 715 00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:40,140 of amplifying your voice. 716 00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,700 Now, very clearly, nobody's going to think that, you know, 717 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,940 that that was really me talking. 718 00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:48,520 But it can reach, and you can see the emotional aspects in it, right? 719 00:37:49,580 --> 00:37:52,800 So, again, remember, we have to build the factory, right? 720 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,400 So 11 Labs has what's called an API. 721 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:01,800 An API is a thing that makes it easy for your AI to talk to it, right? 722 00:38:02,580 --> 00:38:10,260 So then the skill that I taught my AI is how to talk to 11 Labs, right? 723 00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,400 And once I did that, I said, here's their API page. 724 00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:18,240 Can you please use 11 Labs dubbing feature to convert that except into French? 725 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,280 So now I don't even have to leave my browser. 726 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,300 I don't have to leave AI in order to get this functionality. 727 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,680 And so just as we wrap up in time for about 15 minutes of Q&A, 728 00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:36,880 I just want to remind you folks of the timeless principles, right? 729 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,280 And the first is to really understand deeply what AI is for and what it's not for. 730 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,200 And the niya, the intention, the purity, the ikhlas has to come from you. 731 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:53,380 and you have to take steps to make sure that you use AI in the right way so that your voice makes 732 00:38:53,380 --> 00:38:59,300 it through. The second thing is don't just build one car. Build the factory for making cars and we 733 00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:04,940 said that the way to do that is by giving the AI memory and making sure that it can access the work 734 00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:09,360 you've done in the past in terms of your style, any content you've done, any research you've done. 735 00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:15,300 The third is expanding the box that AI works in. It's not just text in text out. That's just 736 00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:22,620 v1. You can use it to teach you things. You can teach it things. You can use it to connect to 737 00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:29,960 outside connectors. All of these things expand the box that AI is in, right? And then finally, 738 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:34,780 especially when it comes to Islamic stuff, make sure that you cite everything correctly, 739 00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:39,740 use proper Islamic tools for it. For your other research, make sure that everything is verified 740 00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:44,140 with citations and that prevents errors from permeating through. 741 00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:50,840 So finally, as I mentioned, the great thing with AI is you can teach it things. 742 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,640 You don't have to start from scratch. 743 00:39:52,640 --> 00:40:05,000 So if you go to this particular page, so this is me typing waleed.dk slash gmc26. 744 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,500 You can see my presentation with videos and everything here so you have a reference for 745 00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:12,640 it, but you can also read this document. 746 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,340 And this document is not intended for humans. 747 00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:17,820 It's readable by humans, right? 748 00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:22,220 But think of it as a summary of the presentation that I've just given you in a way that makes 749 00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:25,320 it accessible for the AI to do what I'm saying. 750 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:31,700 So all you need to do now is if you just go to file and just hit save page as or whatever, 751 00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:36,580 and then go to your AI and upload it, you can have a discussion with AI about how to 752 00:40:36,580 --> 00:40:42,380 implement these particular techniques in your system, whatever your flow is for whatever you 753 00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:47,900 want to do it. And so this is what I mean about how we can use AI, and hopefully you folks find 754 00:40:47,900 --> 00:41:01,900 that useful, and we'll leave it there. So any, any, thank you. So any, any, any, like, like I said, 755 00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:04,020 here are some references.
