رمضان كريم

Ramadan Kareem

Ramadan is a time for stillness, for reflection, and for the people who matter.

At Minbar.ai, we spend most of the year moving fast — connecting brilliant minds with the Gulf's most ambitious stages. But this month, we slow down. We listen more. We read more. We think about what we're building and why.

This isn't a sales page. There's nothing to buy, nothing to sign up for. Just a small gift from our team to yours — five books that have shaped how we think about AI, chosen by the Gulf Voice experts we work with every day.

📚 Five Books for Ramadan Nights

Scary Smartby Mo Gawdat

Mo writes about the future of AI with the heart of a father — asking not what machines can do, but what kind of world we are building for those we love. A deeply human book about an inhuman subject.

The Alignment Problemby Brian Christian

The most important question in AI isn't 'how smart can we make it?' — it's 'how do we make it share our values?' Brian explores this with the rigor of a scientist and the soul of a storyteller.

Human Compatibleby Stuart Russell

Stuart Russell is one of the founding minds of modern AI. Here he makes a compelling, calm case for why we need to rethink the entire approach — before it's too late to course-correct.

Atlas of AIby Kate Crawford

AI is not just code — it's mines, labor, water, politics, and power. Kate reveals the physical and human infrastructure behind the algorithms. Essential reading for anyone shaping policy in the Gulf.

The Coming Waveby Mustafa Suleyman

From the co-founder of DeepMind, a frank and urgent look at what's coming — and what governments and leaders must do now. Especially relevant for Vision 2030 and national AI strategies.

We'll be in touch after Eid.

Until then, may this month bring you clarity, rest, and time with the people who matter most.
