Within this distinctive framework, the idea of establishing a center for artificial intelligence research to serve the humanities emerged as a pioneering idea that no university specialized in humanities sciences had preceded. Al Wasl University in Dubai chose through this research center to contribute to the process of Emirati community development, which is fully engaged in these major technological transformations, given the importance of qualitative initiatives that encourage the acquisition of programming languages, software engineering, robotics employment, digital innovation initiatives, and metaverse technologies.
Since Al Wasl University is keen in its work strategies to combine two merits: the merit of interest in using the latest knowledge for study and application, and the merit of qualifying generations of graduates with the latest skills and capabilities required by the job market, this center has drawn an innovative modernization line that connects between artificial intelligence engineering and the fields of humanities to explore a delicate interdisciplinary field located at the intersection point of advanced technologies with deep human thought.
The center has outlined major lines for its work strategy in the coming years to achieve these goals. It is based on serving the Emirati community, caring for its heritage and culture, contributing to its scientific and educational renaissance, absorbing the latest knowledge, and providing frameworks for activation through conferences, scientific projects, cultural events, and qualitative research. Therefore, the center seeks to provide opportunities for researchers to contribute to meticulous studies and ambitious projects to enhance the service opportunities of humanities sciences through artificial intelligence technologies and engineering, in harmony with the mission of Al Wasl University, which relies on creative thinking, authenticity of belonging, and modernity of innovation.
