Nidaa Al Watan – Lebanon
Lebanese newspaper Nidaa Al Watan featured AI Simplified – الذكاء الاصطناعي ببساطة by Hilda Maalouf Melki in a detailed editorial feature discussing the societal, ethical, and human implications of artificial intelligence.
The article presented AI Simplified as an accessible Arabic guide that explains how artificial intelligence works, how it increasingly shapes everyday life, and how individuals across different age groups and educational backgrounds can approach emerging technologies with awareness and responsibility.
Moreover, the feature emphasized Hilda Maalouf Melki’s perspective that artificial intelligence should not be understood through fear or science-fiction narratives, but rather as a human-created tool whose impact depends on how societies choose to design, regulate, and use it.
The editorial also explored several of the book’s central themes, including algorithmic bias, transparency in AI systems, data privacy, digital ethics, misinformation, and the growing influence of intelligent technologies on decision-making, employment, education, and public awareness.
In addition, the article highlighted AI Simplified’s balanced approach toward the future of artificial intelligence. Rather than promoting technological panic or blind optimism, the book encourages critical thinking, digital literacy, and responsible participation in shaping the future relationship between humans and intelligent systems.
The feature further noted the book’s focus on the Arab world and the importance of preparing future generations not only to use artificial intelligence tools, but also to understand, question, and contribute to the technologies increasingly shaping society and global knowledge systems.
The editorial concluded that AI Simplified ultimately raises a broader question about the future of humanity in the age of intelligent technologies:
“The real question is not whether artificial intelligence is dangerous, but whether we are ready to take responsibility for it.”
