An Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies in Islamic Inheritance Law Knowledge: A Comparison of ChatGPT and Google Gemini

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence models has sparked debates about the potential of these technologies to replace human labor across various sectors; in some areas, significant reductions in personnel have already been executed, with systems being transferred to AI-based solutions. One of the fields affected by this transformation is law. Today, in countries such as China, Colombia, Argentina, the United Kingdom, and the United States, it is known that artificial intelligence is permitted to be used in judicial processes, albeit in a limited capacity, either as a primary or auxiliary tool. The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the reliability and comprehensibility of responses provided by ChatGPT (developed by OpenAI) and Gemini (developed by Google AI) to questions concerning “Islamic Inheritance Law.” Both are among the most well-known and widely accessible AI tools for general users. By analyzing the accuracy of information these two AI models offer on the subject of “Islamic Inheritance Law,” the study aims to explore the applicability of these technologies in the legal field in general and in Islamic law in particular. In this study, questions selected from easy, medium, and hard categories were drawn from exam questions in the Islamic Inheritance Law unit of the Islamic Law I course taught to second-year students at Kocaeli University’s Faculty of Theology. These questions were posed to the two AI models, and the resulting answers were evaluated by two experts in Islamic law. The results obtained were analyzed using tools such as SPSS, and a comparative evaluation of the knowledge and interpretive abilities of these AI models regarding Islamic law was conducted in terms of both accuracy and comprehensibility.

Yapay Zekâ (AI) Teknolojilerinin İslam Miras Hukuku Bilgisi Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme: ChatGPT ve Google Gemini Karşılaştırması

Öz

Yapay zeka modellerinin hızla gelişmesi, birçok sektörde bu teknolojilerin insan gücünün yerini alması tartışmalarını gündeme getirmiş; bazı sektörlerde ise personel sayılarında kayda değer azaltmalara gidilerek sistemler yapay zeka temelli çözümlere devredilmiştir. Bu dönüşümden etkilenen alanlardan biri de hukuk olmuştur. Günümüzde Çin, Kolombiya, Arjantin, Birleşik Krallık ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri gibi bazı ülkelerde, yapay zekanın yargı süreçlerinde sınırlı da olsa asli ya da yardımcı bir araç olarak kullanılmasına izin verildiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, en çok bilinen ve genel kullanıcıların ulaşabildiği yapay zeka araçlarından OpenAI tarafından geliştirilen ChatGPT ve Google AI tarafından geliştirilen Gemini’nin “İslam Miras Hukuku” hakkındaki sorulara verdikleri cevapların güvenilirliğini ve anlaşılabilirliğini karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, iki yapay zeka modelinin “İslam Miras Hukuku” hakkındaki verdikleri bilgilerin doğruluğunu analiz ederek bu teknolojilerin genel olarak hukuk ve özelde de İslam hukuku alanındaki uygulama kabiliyetlerini araştırmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışma Kocaeli Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi 2. Sınıf öğrencilerine İslam Hukuku I dersinde verilen İslam Miras Hukuku ünitesinin sınav sorularından kolay, orta ve zor kategorideki sorular seçilerek iki yapay zekâ modeline sorulmuş ve elde edilen cevapların, alanda uzman iki İslam hukukçusu tarafından değerlendirilmesi istenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar SPSS gibi araçlarla test ve analiz edilmiş, bu iki yapay zekâ modelinin İslam Hukuku hakkındaki bilgi ve yorum kabiliyetleri test edilerek hem doğruluk hem de anlaşılabilirlik açısından karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
