Manga Productions, an affiliate of the Mohammed bin Salman MiSK Foundation, organized an event called “XP” in Riyadh to launch new videogames across various gaming platforms.
An elite group of media figures, influential content creators, and stakeholders attended the event. It aimed to engage with the players' community in the Kingdom through gaming experiences, exclusive content, and thought-provoking meetings.
CEO of Manga Productions Company Dr. Essam Bukhari expressed his pride in launching the new games and in the achievements of Saudi talents at the global level in content creation and production, such as “The Journey” and “Legends in the Coming of Time”.
He also highlighted successes in the distribution and anime licenses for both Grendizer and Captain Tsubasa.
Bukhari stated that the company is proud to publish three games in the Middle East and become the first Saudi company to publish AAA games by young Saudis, adding that investing in them and believing in their abilities is the strategic choice for regional and global competition.
The games include “Space Adventures Grendizer: Feast of the Wolves”, “The Smurfs 2: Prisoner of the Green Jewel”, and “Flashback 2”.
The “Grendizer” game is an epic adventure and a journey that explores the most famous landmarks and characters within the fantastic world created by “Go Nagai”, the author of the original series.
Players can also discover a fictional world of surprises in “The Smurfs 2” and help the famous Smurfs characters rid their world of green gem monsters.
In the second installment of the game, “Flashback 2”, players prepare to embark on a new mission with Conrad and Aisha in a cyberpunk world full of danger, mystery, and lost memories. The first installment of the game was launched in 1992 and sold more than 2 million copies.

SDAIA, KAUST Launch MiniGPT-Med Model to Help Doctors Diagnose Medical Radiology through AI

The Center of Excellence for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have introduced the MiniGPT-Med model.

The large multi-modal language model is designed to help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose medical radiology using artificial intelligence techniques.

Dr. Ahmed Alsinan, the Artificial Intelligence Advisor at the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and head of the scientific team at SDAIA, explained that the MiniGPT-Med model is capable of performing various tasks such as generating medical reports, answering medical visual questions, describing diseases, locating diseases, identifying diseases, and documenting medical descriptions based on entered medical images.

The model was trained on different medical images, including X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs.

The MiniGPT-Med model, derived from large-scale language models, is specifically tailored for medical applications and demonstrates significant versatility across different imaging methods, including X-rays, CT scans, and MRI. This enhances its utility in medical diagnosis.

Dr. Alsinan highlighted that the MiniGPT-Med model was developed collaboratively by artificial intelligence specialists from SDAIA and KAUST.

The model exhibits advanced performance in generating medical reports, achieving 19% higher efficiency than previous models. It serves as a general interface for radiology diagnosis, enhancing diagnostic efficiency across various medical imaging applications.
