Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2025 11 08 The rapid development of AI has drawn intense attention to its philosophical and legal implications, especially regarding discrimination and bias. A fundamental weakness in this discourse is the emphasis on the concept of “citizen,” which is an exclusive category that does not encompass all stakeholders. Achieving true inclusiveness in AI systems requires a fundamental shift in terminology from “citizen” to a more inclusive concept. The title “individual” is a common alternative, but the legal term “person” is more inclusive. Because it encompasses both natural and legal persons. This research emphasizes, using the method of conceptual and critical analysis within the framework of philosophical-ethical, jurisprudential-legal thought and with library tools, that protecting this inclusiveness is not only a moral necessity, but also a legal obligation, and examines the foundations of Imami jurisprudence as a Sharia law perspective to support and explain the person-centered approach. By combining philosophical-ethical, and jurisprudential-legal arguments, this article has provided a more robust framework for the design and governance of pervasive artificial intelligence systems.
