Saudi Arabia Participates in World Radiocommunication Conference in Dubai

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to participate in the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23) with a delegation led by the Governor of the Communications, Space, and Technology Commission, Mohammed bin Saud Al-Tamimi, SPA said on Monday.
The delegation includes representatives from government agencies and the private sector.
Scheduled to be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 20 through December 15, the conference is expected to draw over 4,000 participants from regulatory bodies, government entities, and private organizations.
The primary objective of the conference is to explore ways to enhance the global utilization of the frequency spectrum in these sectors.
The conference proceedings will witness a review of the Kingdom's contributions and leadership in several international domains, notably sustainability in the space sector, empowering radio communications and innovative technologies, and future trends for 6G services.
The Kingdom will also focus on enhancing the utilization of frequency spectrum, satellite orbits for services related to international mobile communications, aviation and maritime transport services, as well as radio and meteorological services.
The Kingdom assumes leadership roles in the conference, leveraging its expertise as an active participant in the development and advancement of the topics under discussion. Additionally, the Kingdom presides over the Radio Regulations Board (RRB) committee.
The WRC-23 is an international conference organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) every four years to coordinate efforts and discussions on the allocation of frequency spectrum for various types of wireless communications. It aims to ensure meeting the global society's needs for sustainable future communication technologies.

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.
