جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي تطلق برامج في علم الروبوتات وعلوم الحاسوب

تلبية للطلب المتزايد على هذه التخصصات على مستوى العالم

أبوظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 3 أغسطس 2023: أطلقت جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي قسمين جديدين يشملان مجالي علم الروبوتات وعلوم الحاسوب، وذلك تلبية للطلب العالمي المتزايد على هذين التخصصين، إذ من المتوقع أن يصل الطلب إلى 225 مليار دولار[i] في مجال علم الروبوتات و 140 مليار دولار في مجال علوم الحاسوب بحلول العام [ii]2030.

ويأتي هذان القسمان الجديدان ليكملا سلسلة البرامج التعليمية التي تقدمها الجامعة لطلابها، والتي تشمل الرؤية الحاسوبية، وتعلّم الآلة، ومعالجة اللغات الطبيعية، وهي برامج تم تصنيفها من بين أفضل 20 برنامجاً عالمياً بحسب موقع CSRankings.

وبالتزامن مع إطلاق القسمين الجديدين، أعلنت الجامعة عن برامج الماجستير والدكتوراه الجديدة. وستساعد هذه البرامج في تطوير منظومة الذكاء الاصطناعي في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة وتعزيز مكانتها كمركز دولي لأبحاث الذكاء الاصطناعي والابتكار.

بهذه المناسبة، قال البروفيسور إريك زينغ، رئيس جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي والبروفيسور الجامعي: “تعكس إضافة القسمين الجديدين الجهود المستمرّة التي تبذلها جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي لتطوير أساس متين للتميز البحثي والابتكار في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي. وستستمر الجامعة في استقطاب النخب العالمية من الهيئات التدريسية والباحثين في هذه المجالات إلى أبوظبي، كما ستدعم طلابها ليصبحوا رواداً في مجالاتهم وليتمتعوا بالمهارات اللازمة لتطوير أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي وتطبيقاته المتقدمة في مختلف المجالات، لاسيما مع تزايد الطلب على المهارات المرتبطة بهذه التخصصات في ظل الثورة الرقمية التي يشهدها العالم حالياً”.

وسيقوم قسم الروبوتات على الأبحاث الأصلية التي تتسم بدقتها وبتأثيرها الواسع، مع التركيز على تعلّم الروبوت وخوارزميات الروبوت بدلاً من تطوير أجهزة روبوت جديدة. وفي الوقت عينه، سيتيح قسم علوم الحاسوب للطلاب التعمّق بشكل استثنائي في التقنيات الأساسية التي أدت إلى النمو الهائل الذي يشهده العالم وفي تأثير تكنولوجيا المعلومات في العقود الأربعة الماضية.

من جهته، قال عميد جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي بالإنابة، تيموثي بالدوين: “إن جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي في طليعة المؤسسات المعنية بتعليم الذكاء الاصطناعي والبحوث التي تتمحور حوله، مما يجعل البرامج التي تقدمها لطلابها مميزة وتنافسية على الساحة العالمية. سيركز قسم علم الروبوتات على تطوير الجيل القادم من المتخصصين في علم الروبوتات ذوي المهارات الراسخة في الذكاء الاصطناعي كما في علم الروبوتات، ليشغلوا وظائف ريادية في الأوساط الأكاديمية والصناعية والحكومية”.

يُحدث علم الروبوتات ثورة في قطاعات متعددة مثل الصناعة والرعاية الصحية والزراعة والنقل. وتشير الأبحاث إلى ارتفاع الطلب على الخبرة في مجال الروبوتات بشكل كبير في السنوات القادمة، حيث من المتوقع أن تتجاوز قيمة سوق تكنولوجيا الروبوتات 225.6 مليار دولار بحلول العام 2030[iii]. إلا أن هذا الطلب الكبيرة سيواجه النقص المتوقع في المواهب العالمية، حيث من المحتمل أن تظل حوالي 85 مليون وظيفة شاغرة بحلول العام 2030 بسبب نقص المتخصصين في هذا المجال[iv].

أما سوق العمل العالمي في مجال علوم الحاسوب فيشهد ازدهاراً بارزاً، إذ من المتوقع أن يبلغ معدل النمو السنوي المركب 14.5٪ ما بين عامي 2021 و2027، وأن يشمل ما يقدر بنحو 3.5 مليون وظيفة بحلول عام [v]2026.

يُذكر أنه سيتم فتح باب تقديم الطلبات للعام 2024 في 1 سبتمبر 2023. لمزيد من المعلومات يُرجى زيارة الموقع الإلكتروني mbzuai.ac.ae أو التواصل مع فريق عمل الجامعة على admissions@mbzuai.ac.ae.

ROSEN, A GLOBAL AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Seagate Technology Holdings plc Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – STX

NEW YORK, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the common stock of Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX) between September 15, 2020 and October 25, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important September 8, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Seagate common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Seagate class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17658 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 8, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the nature and magnitude of Seagate’s Hard Disk Drives (“HDD” or “HDDs”) sales to Huawei, including that Seagate experienced a significant acceleration in sales to Huawei immediately after the BIS rules went into effect and Seagate’s competitors stopped selling to Huawei; (2) that the underlying details of Seagate’s HDD manufacturing process, including the use of covered U.S. software and technology in “essential ‘production’” processes, rendered its sales to Huawei in violation of the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (the “BIS”) export rules; and (3) In addition, as a result, Seagate was in blatant violation of the BIS export rules which resulted in an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce and exposed Seagate to hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and penalties. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Seagate class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17658 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Moscow demands Washington streamline grain deal, Russia’s food export

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov talked Friday about the “importance” of Washington facilitating the implementation of the Istanbul agreement for the export of grain and Russian agricultural products. Peskov told a press conference: “Security is provided as part of the grain deal. If the United States wants to help, it must ensure the implementation of the Russian part of the grain deal and implementation instead of issuing promises.” Moscow suspended its participation in the deal in protest at the failure to implement the part related to the export of its agricultural products and prevented the export of Ukrainian grain across the Black Sea.

Jordan participates in ministerial meeting to preserve environment in Red Sea in Egypt

Environment Minister Muawieh Radaideh is participating in the 20th ministerial meeting of the Regional Authority for the Preservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden that started Thursday in Egypt. Radaideh praised Djibouti’s efforts during its presidency of the previous session and the coordination by the Authority’s secretariat in implementing several pioneering programmes and projects aimed at protecting the Red Sea environment, especially those related to the blue economy and sustainable fishing. Radaida said, “The environmental challenges we are facing today require concerted regional efforts to protect the elements of biodiversity in the Red Sea environment and limit the effects of climate change, especially since scientific studies indicate that coral reefs in the Gulf of Aqaba have the flexibility and ability to face climate changes.” The meeting was joined by environment ministers of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Djibouti.

Field visit to inspect conditions of irrigation facilities in valleys of Tihama coast

The leadership of the General Authority for the Development of Tihama in Al Al-Hodeida province carried out a field visit to inspect conditions of irrigation sources and facilities in a number of valleys of Tihama coast, in preparation for the rainy season.

The head of the commission, Ali Hazaa, was briefed on the entrance to Al-Zaran Canal in Zabid district and its role in diverting water from the course of Wadi Rimaa to agricultural lands, which have an area of more than six thousand square meters.

Hazaa directed officials of the southern agricultural region and maintenance specialists to make an integrated plan for the maintenance of the diversion barrier and the main channel.

He also directed a plan to distribute flood water in the valley to ensure that the largest amount of it is delivered to agricultural lands deprived of irrigation, thus contributing to the exploitation of the largest possible area for grain cultivation.

The head of the authority called on all farmers in Wadi Rimaa to grow grain crops and expand production in light of the blockade the country is suffering from.
