Ep 95. Halal Investing in the AI Age | Mujtaba Khalid
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The $6 trillion Islamic finance market faces an existential tension: it was built to champion equitable risk-sharing, yet it remains heavily dominated by rigid, rule-based legal screening.
Can artificial intelligence resolve this bottleneck? Can advanced machine learning models move beyond basic compliance checklists to automate substantive, purpose-driven ethical screening?
In this episode of Majlis & Markets, host Hassan Jivraj sits down with Mujtaba Khalid for an executive briefing on the intersection of Halal Value Investing and generative AI.
We strip away the fintech marketing jargon to analyse how algorithmic frameworks are actively reshaping portfolio optimisation, equity screening, and asset management across the MENA region.
