This paper analyzes the impact of device uncertainties on deep neural networks (DNNs) in emerging device-based Computing-in-memory (CiM) systems. The authors propose UAE, an uncertainty-aware Neural Architecture Search scheme, to identify DNN models robust to these uncertainties. The goal is to mitigate accuracy drops when deploying trained models on real-world platforms.
G42 and Cerebras, in partnership with MBZUAI and C-DAC, will deploy an 8 exaflop AI supercomputer in India. The system will operate under India's governance frameworks, with all data remaining within national jurisdiction to meet sovereign security and compliance requirements. The supercomputer will be accessible to Indian researchers, startups, and government entities under the India AI Mission.
This paper introduces the AI Pentad model, comprising humans/organizations, algorithms, data, computing, and energy, as a framework for AI regulation. It also presents the CHARME²D Model to link the AI Pentad with regulatory enablers like registration, monitoring, and enforcement. The paper assesses AI regulatory efforts in the EU, China, UAE, UK, and US using the CHARME²D model, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
This paper proposes a framework for understanding AI sovereignty as a balance between autonomy and interdependence, considering global data, supply chains, and standards. It introduces a planner's model with policy heuristics for equalizing marginal returns across sovereignty pillars and setting openness. The model is applied to India and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and UAE), finding that managed interdependence, rather than isolation, is key for AI sovereignty.
This paper discusses the integration of AI into education, emphasizing a transdisciplinary approach that connects AI instruction to the broader curriculum and community needs. It delves into the AI program developed for Neom Community School in Saudi Arabia, where AI is taught as a subject and used to learn other subjects through the International Baccalaureate (IB) approach. The proposed method aims to make AI relevant throughout the curriculum by integrating it into Units of Inquiry.
MBZUAI has launched the Ruwwad AI Scholars (RAIS) program, a postdoctoral fellowship for Emirati Ph.D. graduates to undertake two-year, fully-funded research positions at leading global institutions. The program aims to cultivate local talent in AI and computational research, with the goal of strengthening participants' eligibility for faculty positions at MBZUAI. The fellowship covers a stipend, research funds, insurance, relocation support, and conference travel.
This paper introduces an AI-driven decision support system for green hydrogen investment in Oman, specifically for the Duqm R3 auction. The system uses publicly available meteorological data to predict maintenance pressure on hydrogen infrastructure, creating a Maintenance Pressure Index (MPI). This tool supports regulatory oversight and operational decision-making by enabling temporal benchmarking against performance claims.
