It was an honor to be interviewed by CNBC Arabic, sharing insights on the groundbreaking #Fanar Arabic #AI Large Language Model, officially inaugurated at the World Summit AI in Doha. Proud to have represented Applab Qatar at this landmark event, where the launch of Fanar, developed through the collaboration of Ministry of Communications and Information Technology Qatar (MCIT), Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), and Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), marked a transformative step for Arabic AI capabilities. This initiative not only advances #AI technology but also plays a vital role in preserving and empowering the Arabic language, solidifying Qatar's leadership in AI innovation. #AI #ArabicAI #Innovation #Qatar #ApplabQatar #MCIT #HBKU #QCRI #FanarModel #ArtificialIntelligence #CNBCArabic #AISummit
