Abstract

Contemporary global forces, particularly artificial intelligence and cultural interconnectedness, challenge traditional societies to maintain cultural authenticity while adapting to rapid transformation. This study examines Arabic poetry as a paradigmatic case of how cultural traditions can preserve their essential character while continuously evolving through dynamic engagement with external influences. Tracing the trajectory from pre-Islamic Jahiliyya poetry to contemporary AI-assisted verse creation, this analysis reveals that Arabic poetry's remarkable continuity stems not from static preservation but from its capacity for contrapuntal growth—absorbing Persian, Greek, European, and now digital influences while maintaining distinctive linguistic, prosodic, and conceptual frameworks rooted in the Qur'anic-poetic synthesis. The tradition demonstrates that cultural authenticity emerges through creative adaptation rather than isolation.


Keywords: Arabic poetry; artificial intelligence; cultural identity; globalization; postcolonial literature
