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.
