The University of Florida, a proponent for ethics in artificial intelligence, is part of a new global agreement with seven other worldwide universities that are committed to the development of human-centered approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) that will impact people everywhere. During the Global University Summit at Notre Dame University, Joseph Glover, UF provost and senior vice president of academic affairs, signed The Rome Call for AI Ethics on October 27 on behalf of the University of Florida and served as a panelist for the two-day summit attended by 36 universities invited from around the world. The event was held in Notre Dame, IN. The signing indicates a commitment to the principles of the Rome Call for AI Ethics: to ensure artificial intelligence serves the interests of humanity and to support regulations and principles to deliver emerging technologies that are ethically centered. UF joins a network of universities that will share best practices, tools, and educational content, as well as meet regularly to share updates and discuss innovative ideas.

The University of Florida and NVIDIA Tuesday unveiled a plan to build the world's fastest AI supercomputer in academia, delivering 700 petaflops of AI performance. The effort is anchored by a $50 million gift: $25 million from alumnus and NVIDIA co-founder Chris Malachowsky and $25 million in hardware, software, training and services from NVIDIA. "We've created a replicable, powerful model of public-private cooperation for everyone's benefit," said Malachowsky, who serves as an NVIDIA Fellow, in an online event featuring leaders from both the UF and NVIDIA. UF will invest an additional $20 million to create an AI-centric supercomputing and data center. The $70 million public-private partnership promises to make UF one of the leading AI universities in the country, advance academic research and help address some of the state's most complex challenges.

In October Abu Dhabi announced the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, which will enable graduate students, businesses, and governments to advance AI. The university is named after the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is an advocate for developing human capital through science. The school aims to create a new model of academia and research for AI and to "unleash AI's full potential."

An AI university has been established in Abu Dhabi, in what is being billed as a world first for artificial intelligence studies. Earlier this month, it was announced that the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has been established in Abu Dhabi, the first graduate level, research-based AI university globally. The AI university will enable graduate students, businesses, and governments to advance artificial intelligence. The university's name comes from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. MBZUAI intends to introduce a new model of academia and research to the field of AI, with a view to provide students and faculty access to some of the world's most advanced AI systems to unleash its potential for economic and societal development.

The recruitment process has begun for the world's very first university dedicated to artificial intelligence, here in the UAE. More than 3,000 people have started the process to attend The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, which will open for students from September 2020. World's first artificial intelligence university to open in Abu Dhabi The university, based in Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, received the majority of applications from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Egypt, India and China.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Minister of Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Friday lauded the United Arab Emirates' plans to launch the world's first university of artificial intelligence, expressing Islamabad's interest in collaborating on the project. Earlier this month, Abu Dhabi announced the opening of the first dedicated AI university. The Mohammad Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) will open its doors on September 2020. Chaudhary said Pakistan also had a center of excellence on artificial intelligence and "would like to join hands with the UAE university to enhance the capabilities of our people in the field". "UAE was the first country which established a proper ministry for artificial intelligence in 2017," the minister told Arab News in a phone interview from China where he is on a six-day official visit.

The global business value derived from Artificial Intelligence (AI) is projected to reach over $3,9 trillion by 2022, according to industry analyst firm Gartner. The firm expects that in the next few years, Artificial Intelligence used to support data science and other algorithm-based applications is going to become the most common use for AI, comprising about 44 percent of the total. To face industry projections, the population needs to prepare by promoting education in AI. Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) is the world's first graduate-level AI university. Named after His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces, the AI university will introduce a new model of academia and research to the field of Artificial Intelligence.

The first graduate-level AI university in the world has been announced in Abu Dhabi. The university will also engage policymakers and businesses around the world so that AI can be harnessed responsibly for positive transformation. Supervision of PhD students will happen in partnership with the Abu Dhabi-based Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and all admitted students will also be offered a full scholarship as well as monthly benefits including allowance, health insurance and accommodation.
