At its third meeting this year, the Scientific Committee of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC) emphasised the importance of keeping pace with technological advances and using artificial intelligence to enhance Arabic content and scientific research.

 

The Committee, chaired by His Excellency Dr Ali bin Tamim, Chairman of the ALC, emphasised in its recommendations the need to use AI technologies to improve the quality and accuracy of Arabic content, thereby elevating the status of the Arabic language in the digital domain.

 

The recommendations included establishing mechanisms to increase the number of scholarly publications in Arabic, supporting the development of peer-reviewed journals, such as "The Journal of Arab Studies", published by the ALC, enhancing their leading global role in promoting Arabic research and studies, and increasing its accessibility and accreditation by leading international research centres.

 

The recommendations underscored the importance of fostering global cultural initiatives by expanding partnerships with international publishers and cultural institutions, with an aim of enhancing knowledge exchange and using modern technologies in producing and distributing Arabic content. They also emphasised the importance of ongoing participation in international cultural events focused on education and skill development. AI was identified as a crucial tool for improving language teaching methods and enhancing cultural exchange.

 

HE Dr Ali bin Tamim commended the Scientific Committee for its contributions to advancing the Centre's objectives. He noted the importance of developing effective tools to reach a wider audience and stay abreast of the latest advancements. He affirmed that the Committee's recommendations will bolster the Centre's efforts to keep up with global technological developments and utilise AI to promote Arabic content and scientific research in the Arabic language.

 

Hix Excellency said: "The ALC’s initiatives have made a significant impact in targeted sectors, thanks to their high-quality content and innovative use of modern communications and technologies. This approach has successfully reached diverse audiences, particularly younger generations, and has contributed to the sustainability of the Arab publishing and cultural industries. It also reinforces Abu Dhabi's leading role in showcasing authentic Arab culture and language while promoting a stronger presence in the cultural industries sector and all modern forms of communication".
