Greetings from Gulf University

Welcome to the THE Arab AI Forum 2025.

It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all attendees, experts and innovators joining us today. This forum is a unique platform to explore, discuss and collaborate on the groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence that are shaping our future.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the world in profound ways, reshaping industries, enhancing productivity and creating new opportunities for societal progress. From smart cities and healthcare, to robotics and data analytics, AI’s potential is limitless, and it is only through collaboration and knowledge exchange that we can unlock its full promise.

At Gulf University, we are proud to apply AI across our various departments, enriching educational experiences and equipping students with the tools they need for the future. Whether through our AI-driven research projects in the engineering department or our data science and machine learning initiatives within our computer science programmes, we are committed to nurturing innovation at every level. We believe in the transformative power of AI and continually strive to incorporate it into our curricula, research and everyday activities, ensuring our students are at the forefront of this technological revolution.

As we continue to push the boundaries of technology, I encourage you to engage, share insights and be inspired by the exciting possibilities AI holds for our future. Together, we can shape the next wave of innovation and make a lasting impact on our world.

Enjoy the forum and let’s create the future of AI together.
