INTRODUCTION
Artificial Intelligence (AI) or artificial intelligence is a rapidly developing technology that permeates many aspects of life and cannot be separated from or avoided by humans (Sobron & Lubis, 2.
According to John McCarthy.
Artificial Intelligence is a computer system used to understand and model human thinking processes or those requiring human intelligence and design machines to mimic human behavior.
AI has the potential to change various aspects of human life, including in the field of da'wah.
Da'wah is understood as an effort to convey religious teachings by inviting people to Annual Islamic Conference for Learning and Management UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya Jl.

, 2.
One of the information technologies that can be used in the delivery of da'wah information is AI technology, using ChatGPT.
Therefore.
ChatGPT is considered a modern media technology for da'wah.
Research on ChatGPT in the context of Surah Al-Imran: 19 as a media for da'wah on YouTube has been conducted by several previous researchers.
Among the most recent reports is by (Mukaromah et al.
, 2.

This research uses a qualitative method, with data collected through literature study, observation, and documentation.
The findings show that ChatGPT offers opportunities for Islamic da'wah by providing quick and easy access to Islamic information, ensuring that the information delivered is valid and accountable.
Then, (Muji & Saifuddin Zuhri, 2.
in "Hybrid Culture and New Media in Empowering Islamic Society: The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Da'wah in the VUCA Era" discusses how AI can be used to spread religious messages, emphasizing that technology should be seen as a tool to support the primary goal of da'wah, which is the dissemination of religious messages, deeper understanding, and positive change in society.
The research method used is library research, which is The results indicate that AI technology can be an effective tool in da'wah, and AI should not be considered the main goal, but a supportive tool to achieve the mission of da'wah.
Furthermore, (Ramiedi & Afril, 2.
"The Relationship of Religious Moderation to Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Society 5.
0" examines the relationship between religious moderation and the development of AI.
The research uses a qualitative method.
The results show that AI has the potential to support religious moderation by helping to reduce extremism and violence in religious practices.
The results of previous studies and current research have similarities in discussing how AI can support Islamic da'wah and spread religious messages more However, the differences lie in the focus of each study.
Mukaromah focuses more specifically on ChatGPT and the validity of information.
Muji & Saifuddin Zuhri focus on the VUCA era and AI's role in da'wah, while Ramiedi & Afril primarily discuss AI in relation to religious moderation in Society 5.
ChatGPT encourages people worldwide to recognize the wonders of AI, which provides an intellect that surpasses human understanding, including knowledge and information that we do not possess, particularly in da'wah.
Da'wah can be carried out using various techniques such as teaching, spreading information, and more.

Surah Al-Imran: 19 affirms that Islam is the true religion, without doubt.
According to Asy-SyaAorawi.
Islam is not only the teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW, but also the submission of all creatures to the One Almighty God through the teachings brought by the prophets, supported by miracles and convincing evidence (Rafi, 2.
An example of such evidence is from a case where a YouTuber, after asking ChatGPT about Islam, was surprised to find that ChatGPT confirmed Islam as the true religion, as he had previously believed that Christianity, inherited from his ancestors, was the only true religion (Lutfi Dwi Puji Astuti, 2.
This research applies the theory of da'wah communication to analyze the phenomenon of non-Muslims seeking religious truth through digital technology.
Surah Al-Imran: 19 serves as the main foundation, emphasizing that Islam is the true religion in the sight of Allah, so technologies like ChatGPT can be a medium to introduce Islam to a global audience, including non-Muslims.
Through the YouTube case study, this research explores how da'wah creators utilize ChatGPT to answer critical questions about Islam raised by non-Muslims (Khan, 2.
ChatGPT plays a role in delivering answers based on the Quran and Hadith, fostering constructive dialogue.
This phenomenon shows the potential of technology in bringing people closer to Islam, while also affirming that Islam can address intellectual challenges posed by anyone.
Therefore, this research connects the concept in Surah Al-Imran: 19, proving the truth that Islam is the true religion, which even ChatGPT acknowledges.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-based machine technology that is trained to mimic human conversation using Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, which is capable of responding to questions asked by users in the form of text by typing a question into a chatbot platform (Setiawan & Luthfiyani, 2.
The chatbot's ability to provide the needed information is also more efficient than humans in general, and its writing skills surpass those of the average student.
The use of ChatGPT can be a great opportunity for Islamic da'wah, as it can influence the way da'wah is delivered, accessed, and received by the community or Muslim ummah.
Muslims can easily access religious information, get answers to their questions, and receive spiritual guidance quickly and practically.
However, along with its opportunities, there are also challenges that need to be addressed in presenting Islamic da'wah amid the presence of AI technology like ChatGPT.
Connection to Surah Al-Imran: 19 In the context of the opportunities for Islamic daAowah amid the presence of AI technology like ChatGPT, we can relate it to Surah Al-Imran: 19, which states:
A aEI OI uEA EacaOI OA A accEEa A auIac accEEA a AO uEE aa uaacE Ia I u a I eNI uE a uEI u O OuIN uI OII OEuA u ai aOA AuaIac EaOI aI accEEa u aeE uA a A aO uEa A "Indeed, the only religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.
" (Surah Al-Imran: .
This verse emphasizes that Islam is the true religion in the sight of Allah, and every individual, regardless of their background or status, has the opportunity to learn and accept the truth of Islam.
Technologies like ChatGPT can serve as a tool to facilitate the spread of Islamic messages to humanity, including those who may not be familiar with Islam.
With its ability to provide quick and efficient information.
ChatGPT allows anyone, both Muslims and non-Muslims, to get answers to their questions regarding Islamic teachings.
In this context.
AI technology can become a medium to introduce the truth of Islam as conveyed in Surah Al-Imran: 19.
Opportunities for Islamic Da'wah Amidst the Presence of AI Technology (ChatGPT) Based on observations and literature studies.

It can even provide advice and fatwas according to religious guidance.
Assisting and Speeding Up the Preparation of Da'wah Materials: ChatGPT helps to quickly and easily prepare da'wah materials, though it still requires planning, organization, and validation by the dai or preacher.
ChatGPT can be used as a tool to assist writers and Islamic content creators in generating ideas, overcoming writerAos block, and automating the production of repetitive or time-consuming content tasks (Wahid & Hikamudin, 2.
ChatGPTAos language proficiency and ability to organize data into understandable information can assist in understanding Islamic teachings, help speed up the preparation of daAowah materials, and emphasize the importance of active participation by dai in delivering IslamAos teachings in-depth.

In conclusion.
ChatGPT, as an advanced AI tool, offers significant opportunities for Islamic daAowah, particularly in addressing questions and spreading knowledge about Islam.
With its ability to respond quickly, efficiently, and at scale, it serves as a valuable medium for delivering religious messages and providing answers to both Muslims and Annual Islamic Conference for Learning and Management UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya Jl.
Yani 117 Surabaya Halaman 439 AuTransformasi Pembelajaran dan Pengelolaan Pendidikan Islam Prospektif Sustainable Development GoalsAy Nabila Khairunisa non-Muslims.
The technology can facilitate the dissemination of Islamic teachings and help bridge the gap for individuals seeking knowledge, especially in the context of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
As reflected in Surah Al-Imran: 19.
Islam is affirmed as the true religion in the sight of Allah, and the use of technologies like ChatGPT can serve as a tool to help spread this However, while ChatGPT offers vast potential, it is essential to recognize that it should not replace the role of scholars and religious leaders in delivering the depth and authenticity of Islamic teachings.
Instead, it should be seen as a tool that assists in the broader mission of daAowah, providing quick access to information, answering questions, and offering insights based on the Quran and Hadith.
In addition, the use of AI in daAowah presents both opportunities and challenges.
Opportunities include broader outreach, more efficient dissemination of knowledge, and personalized responses, while challenges involve maintaining personal interaction and ensuring the accuracy and depth of religious information.
As such.
ChatGPT can support the goals of daAowah, but it requires careful planning and validation by qualified religious authorities to ensure that the information it provides aligns with the core values of Islam.
Overall.
ChatGPT represents a powerful tool for modern daAowah, fostering global dialogue about Islam and offering a practical means of making Islamic knowledge more accessible to a diverse audience.
However, its use should be carefully managed to maintain the integrity and depth of Islamic teachings, as guided by the Quran and Hadith.
