AIJRF CEO Opening
Dr. Mohamed Abdulzaher
We are experiencing rapid advances in the technologies associated with the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions. There have been a number of fields affected by their impact on the content industry, including: Government, Media, Education, Banking, and other areas that contribute to the global Digital Economy.
Today, as we announce the 4th Edition of the Artificial Intelligence Journalism World Forum (AIJWF), I remember when we launched the Artificial Intelligence Journalism for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF), the parent organization and sponsor of the AIJWF at the end of 2018, globally the AI apps number in content creation did not exceed 10,000 apps, and today according to many reports this number has exceeded half a million apps and tools.
The global AI in media & entertainment market size was estimated at USD 14.81 billion in 2022 and reached USD 19.75 billion in 2023, It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26% from 2023 to 2030. In this context, the important question is how large is the market for these technologies in the Arab region, and by this, I mean the volume of production rather than the volume of consumption.
This led us to discuss both Arabic language and culture in relation to the great technological advances, and whether there is really a big gap in the number of applications that are compatible with Arabic language, and what is the current situation regarding Arab intelligent government and educational services, do they stand on the right side of adapting AI and the advanced technologies?, and how deeply are the Arab youth gaining these skills and using the AI applications, that would open many new doors for them in the future?
We are very keen to highlight the role of Arab artificial intelligence manufacturers, in supporting the Arab AI applications industry, in addition, to promote the use of these apps in a variety of sectors.
