King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Participates in GITEX Global 2024

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) is participating in the GITEX Global 2024 exhibition in Dubai from October 14 to 18 to highlight some of its strategic projects, particularly its linguistic computing initiatives.

KSGAAL Secretary General Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi said that participating in the exhibition is a highly significant strategic step as the world's leading tech companies convene, especially given the academy's growing role in linguistic computing and artificial intelligence (AI).

He described the event as an ideal platform to showcase innovations and projects that serve the Arabic language by leveraging advanced modern technologies in line with the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program, one of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiatives.

Through its participation at its GITEX Global 2024 pavilion, KSGAAL aims to showcase its efforts in serving the Arabic language and its role in developing AI-based tools and technologies to support the language's use in various tech sectors.

The exhibition also offers an opportunity for collaboration with global tech companies and institutions, enabling the academy to benefit from the latest technological advancements and apply them to its future linguistic projects.

Chinese and European automakers are launching new models at the Paris auto show on Monday, with both heavily focusing on their electric ranges, even as demand slows and the EU gears up to impose tariffs on Chinese-made EVs later this month.

Below are some of the launches expected to generate buzz at the show, Europe's biggest. Organizers have counted around 50 European or world premieres.

CHINA'S OFFERING

Chinese EV giant BYD, which has entered many European markets this summer, is hoping to challenge Tesla's Model Y with a mid-sized electric SUV known as the Sea Lion 07.

It will also premiere for France its luxury, plug-in hybrid SUV, the Yangwang U8, which is capable of floating in the event of accidents involving water. It can also park sideways or make a complete turn on the spot thanks to four electric motors, one in each wheel.

China's state-owned GAC is launching the second generation of its compact electric crossover SUV, the Aion V, with a range of up to 750 kilometers (466 miles).

FAW's Hongqi, or Red Flag, known as former Chinese leader Chairman Mao Zedong's favored car brand and considered the nation's equivalent of a Rolls Royce, will launch its imposing luxury electric range, including the 5.2-meter long E-HS9, and EH7 and EHS7 models.

Startup Leapmotor will show the small EV T03 and new electric SUVs, the C10 and B10.

EUROPEAN MANUFACTURERS

Local manufacturer Renault is unveiling its small electric SUV, the R4, a modern version of the famous Renault 4 from the sixties, as well as a new Dacia Bigster, a larger version of the bestselling SUV Duster.

Alpine, Renault's sport brand, will unveil a show car for its forthcoming A390 fastback, its second fully electric model.

Volkswagen will premiere its seven-seater VW Tayron SUV that comes as a mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid, and available for order from 45,475 euros ($49,763).

Stellantis will launch the new compact Citroen C4 and C4X that have hybrid, electric and pure combustion-engine versions.

Peugeot, which has previously designed a mini steering wheel, is showing a rectangular wheel, or the Hypersquare, which will appear in the first car showrooms from 2026.
