Muslims in ML Community

Muslims In ML (MusIML) is an community of muslim researchers dedicated to amplifying the voices of Muslim researchers in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence and addressing challenges and research topics that are particularly relevant to Muslims.
We focus on both the potential for advancement and harm to Muslims and those in Muslim-majority countries who religiously identify, culturally associate, or are classified by proximity, as “Muslim”.

Our next workshop, The 6th Muslims in ML Workshop will be held in Seoul, South Korea at ICML 2026.
Also, we are planning to organize socials and mentoring sessions in NeurIPS 2026 and AISTATS 2026.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create more equitable and impactful scientific contributions by Muslim communities in machine learning to foster meaningful research and innovation.

We envision a world in which Muslims and those in Muslim-majority regions are empowered to engage in, contribute to, and benefit from global scientific discourse in machine learning.

Through high-quality research, sustained dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration, we seek to advance research and promote researchers from Muslim backgrounds to meaningfully shape the development of AI systems that serve global society.

Our Mission

Muslims in ML provides a platform for the machine learning community to advance research, foster dialogue, and build collaborations at the intersection of machine learning, ethical AI, and Muslim communities and contexts.

We bring together researchers, professionals, practitioners, and students to promote ML research carried out by members of the global Muslim community and conversations about AI’s impact on Muslim communities worldwide.

Grounded in advocacy, inclusivity, rigor, and integrity, we increase the visibility of trainees’ work and support students by connecting them with mentors and collaborators across academia and industry.
