The United Arab Emirates University is drawing attention with the launch of its “Artificial Intelligence Agenda 2025-2031,” aimed at solidifying its position as an advanced research and educational center in the field of artificial intelligence. This ambitious plan not only seeks to enhance academic capabilities but also extends to providing innovative solutions that address diverse societal challenges. Under the leadership of Dr. Ahmed Ali Al-Raisi, the university aims to prepare distinguished national talents capable of actively participating in a prosperous digital future.
Innovative Future Roadmap
The Artificial Intelligence Agenda 2025-2031 includes a range of research projects aimed at enhancing research expertise and capabilities at the university level. These projects involve advanced studies on the performance of neural networks in monitoring concrete structures and predictive models for hospital stays of lung cancer patients. The university also offers advanced systems to measure student attention in classrooms.
Multidisciplinary Projects
The research conducted by the university covers various topics, including the classification of autistic behavior using explainable artificial intelligence and smart tools to combat childhood obesity. Additionally, flood data is analyzed, and rainfall prediction techniques are applied using machine learning. The university’s work also includes research related to monitoring groundwater through methods that combine statistical analysis and neural networks, highlighting its commitment to developing research that supports sustainability and achieves tangible results.
Comprehensive Academic Approach
In a significant step towards supporting a knowledge-based economy, the university has decided to integrate artificial intelligence as a core component in all undergraduate programs starting from the Fall 2025/2026 semester. The new programs include a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, along with a specialized track in this field. Additionally, a range of modern courses has been developed, such as “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence,” which provides an in-depth understanding of the history and applications of artificial intelligence, allowing students from various disciplines to benefit.
The university also aims to offer courses focusing on the technical aspects of artificial intelligence, such as “Fundamentals and Applications of Artificial Intelligence,” “Artificial Intelligence in Engineering,” and “Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.” These programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle future challenges across multiple fields.
Through these initiatives, the UAE University reaffirms its commitment to driving towards a sustainable and scalable digital future by adopting the “Artificial Intelligence Agenda 2025,” reflecting the university’s vision to enhance its academic capabilities and expand its impact both locally and internationally.
