Artificial intelligence, as one of the most important technologies of the present era, has played an effective role in various scientific and applied fields, and its use in the humanities and Islamic jurisprudence has become a controversial topic. This article examines the benefits, challenges, and degree of autonomy of artificial intelligence in the process of inferring religious rulings. Using techniques such as natural language processing, machine learning, and neural networks, artificial intelligence has the ability to analyze jurisprudential texts, categorize data, and provide answers based on previous patterns. This technology can also accelerate the process of jurisprudential inference and increase its accuracy. Here, the practical capabilities of artificial intelligence, including tagging verses and narrations, finding similar texts, and simulating ijtihad methods, are mentioned. However, complete autonomy of artificial intelligence in ijtihad is still unattainable, because this process requires conditions such as justice, faith, and deep awareness that are beyond the capabilities of an intelligent system. As a result, artificial intelligence can be used as a facilitating tool in ijtihad and jurisprudential education, but the complete replacement of mujtahids requires further scientific, technical, and ethical advances.
