وَقَّعَتِ الْجَامِعَةُ الْأَمْرِيكِيَّةُ فِي بَيْرُوتَ وَمَجْمُوعَةُ «سِي إِمْ إِيه سِي جِي إِمْ» اتِّفاقِيَّةً لِتَأْسِيسِ مَعْهَدِ الذَّكَاءِ الِاصْطِنَاعِيِّ وَالرُّؤَى. وَسَيَكُونُ الْمَعْهَدُ ضِمْنَ كُلِّيَّةِ عُلُومِ الْحَوْسَبَةِ وَالْبَيَانَاتِ، وَهِيَ أَحْدَثُ كُلِّيَّاتِ الْجَامِعَةِ.

وَقَدَّمَتِ الشَّرِكَةُ تَبَرُّعًا قَدْرُهُ عَشَرَةُ مَلَايِينَ دُولارٍ لِتَأْسِيسِ الْمَعْهَدِ وَدَعْمِهِ عَلَى الْمَدَى الطَّوِيلِ. وَيَهْدِفُ الْمَشْرُوعُ إِلَى رَبْطِ الْحَوْسَبَةِ وَعُلُومِ الْبَيَانَاتِ بِمَشْكِلَاتٍ حَقِيقِيَّةٍ فِي الْمُجْتَمَعِ وَالْأَعْمَالِ.

وَسَيُجْرِي الْمَعْهَدُ أَبْحَاثًا فِي الذَّكَاءِ الِاصْطِنَاعِيِّ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ الْآلِيِّ. وَسَيُرَكِّزُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ عَلَى تَحْسِينِ الْخِدْمَاتِ اللُّوجِسْتِيَّةِ، وَتَصْمِيمِ الشَّبَكَاتِ، وَالتَّوَقُّعِ، وَالْأَتْمَتَةِ، وَإِدَارَةِ الِاضْطِراباتِ. كَذٰلِكَ، سَيَبْحَثُ فِي طُرُقٍ لِجَعْلِ الْعَمَلِيَّاتِ أَكْثَرَ اسْتِدَامَةً.

وَسَيُقَدِّمُ الْمَعْهَدُ بَرَامِجَ مُتَخَصِّصَةً وَشَهَادَاتٍ لِلطُّلَّابِ وَالْمُهَنِيِّينَ فِي لُبْنَانَ وَالْمِنْطَقَةِ. وَمِنَ الْمُخَطَّطِ أَنْ تَضُمَّ الْكُلِّيَّةُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أُسْتاذًا. وَمِنَ الْمُتَوَقَّعِ أَنْ تَبْدَأَ أَوَّلُ دُفْعَةٍ مِنَ الطُّلَّابِ دِرَاسَتَهَا فِي خَرِيفِ عامِ ٢٠٢٧.

New Partnership Establishes an Artificial Intelligence Institute in Beirut

The American University of Beirut and the CMA CGM Group signed an agreement to establish an Artificial Intelligence and Insights Institute. The institute will be part of the School of Computing and Data Sciences, the university’s newest school.

The company gave a donation of $10 million to establish the institute and support it over the long term. The project aims to connect computing and data science with real problems in society and business.

The institute will conduct research in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Part of its work will focus on improving logistics services, designing networks, forecasting, automation, and managing disruptions. It will also examine ways to make operations more sustainable.

The institute will offer specialized programmes and certificates for students and professionals in Lebanon and the region. The school is planned to include more than 25 professors. Its first group of students is expected to begin studying in autumn 2027.
