Mifrah Hayath (Contributing Fellow – Editorial) is a Researcher and Teaching Fellow at Harvard Medical School, where her work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare law, and religious bioethics. Trained in biotechnology, bioethics, and legal analysis, her research examines how emerging technologies, such as AI-assisted reproductive medicine, embryo selection, and clinical decision-making systems, challenge traditional frameworks of consent, responsibility, and moral authority. Her recent work explores how religious traditions, particularly Islamic ethical and legal thought, can inform contemporary debates about AI governance, human dignity, and the risks of technological overreach. Mifrah has held research appointments across leading academic institutions and regularly contributes to interdisciplinary conversations bridging science, law, ethics, and faith. She is particularly interested in developing pluralistic ethical frameworks that meaningfully engage religious perspectives in global AI policy and healthcare regulation.
