The academic laboratory Today, the United Arab Emirates launched an artificial intelligence Two large language models, a world model agent and two LLMs (large language models) new research center in Silicon Valley The country is increasing its investments in the sector.
The UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence has revealed a world AI model named PAN. This can be used for building physically realistic simulations to test and refine the performance of AI Agents.
Eric Xing (president and professor at MBZUAI) and a leader in AI research revealed models and a lab today, on the grounds of the Computer History Museum located in Mountain View. UAE is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. made big investments in AI in recent years The nation is led by Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This tech-savvy National Security Advisor and brother to President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has a wealth of experience in the field.
Xing claims that the UAE’s new AI center, located in Sunnyvale (California), will enable the country to tap into a highly concentrated pool of AI talent and knowledge. “We’re creating pathways for knowledge exchange with leading institutions and accessing a talent pool that understands how to scale research into real-world applications,” Xing announced in an official announcement.
MBZUAI today also revealed PAN-Agent, an experimental AI agent trained to perform reasoning tasks within the PAN world model. MBZAUI said AI researchers can use PAN for testing agents in simulated scenarios of real world, such as self-driving vehicles on virtual roads.
At today’s demonstration, PAN was used to simulate autonomous cars driving on busy streets, drones flying in unfamiliar places, and robots working within domestic environments.
AI researches believe that “world models” PAN and other AI tools will play a key role in the development of more advanced AI, such as robots or virtual assistants able to work in unfamiliar environments. Demis Hazzabis, Google’s AI Lead, spoke to reporters earlier this week. stressed the importance of world modeling He explains his AI company plans.
MBZUAI also announced at the event two large language models. Xing claims that K2, a 65 billion parameter model for reasoning, was developed on 80 A100 processors using Nvidia’s DGX Cloud. It used 35 percent less computing power than Meta’s Llama 2 of the same size. MBZUAI has also unveiled Jais which they claim is the most advanced Arabic language LLM in existence.
Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East was to help broker deals for US firms with Saudi Arabia and UAE.
The US technology giants Nvidia AMD AWS and Qualcomm could be involved in deals that help. propel a boom for the region’s fledgling AI industry By providing AI chips and datacenter capacity. Deals are strategic for US Government because they expand US technology influence and put it ahead of China, a key rival.
Trump announced in Abu Dhabi, this month, that several US companies unnamed would collaborate with the UAE on the construction of the world’s largest AI cluster data centers outside the United States. Deal will include an arrangement to keep China out of the data center cluster.
