The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Students Club has opened at Qatar University (QU), providing students with a wide space for creativity, innovation and experimentation in the field of AI.
Dr Mohamed Diab, associate vice-president for Student Life and Services, said: "We affirm in the student life and services department, in particular, our permanent support for such initiatives. We aim to work with them to provide a stimulating learning environment for students, which will be characterised by high-quality professional standards to contribute together in building a distinguished university graduate."
“Artificial intelligence has undoubtedly become one of the main pillars upon which the technology industry is based, and it is one of the features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that we are living in now. It will serve the various State institutions, ministries and our society to make its mark in this field, enhanced by the spirit of leadership and innovation,” said Dr Khalid Naji, dean of the College of Engineering.
Abdulaziz al-Ali, director of Kindi Computing Research Centre at the College of Engineering and newly appointed adviser to the AI club, noted: “Artificial Intelligence has now become the main driver of modern solutions everywhere. Having a student organisation will shape the minds of the next generation to understand the sciences related to Artificial Intelligence and how to face the relevant upcoming challenges.”
Musallam al-Qawasmi, student and head of the club, said: "I look forward to elevating the club to the highest ranks, as we will contribute to achieve Qatar National Vision 2030 and aim to participate in various international conferences, leaving our mark in this field. I urge students with creative thinking to join us and help us."
Yaman Qatmawi, student and vice-president of club, added: “As vice-president of the AI club, I congratulate Qatar University on the birth of a new club that aims to spread science and knowledge in one of the most prominent fields of our future. We, the organisation’s work team, recognise the importance of giving students opportunities for scientific research and discovering their potential - enriching their knowledge from the torrent of artificial intelligence sciences. For this reason, we plan to achieve our lofty goal by presenting a number of projects, events and special educational workshops to connect students with experts in this field. I am honoured to be a
member of a team that will conduct the winds of change for the future of millions of people locally, regionally and globally."
For her part, student Lulwa al-Thani, a member of the club’s leadership team, called on all QU students to join the Artificial Intelligence club, which will benefit in "integrating AI into our society by allowing machines to perform a variety of human tasks
in a more efficient and effective manner".
