‘Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital’ Signs Strategic Alliance Agreement with Global Center for AI Excellence
AMMAN –
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital (TAG.GD) and the Global Center for AI
Excellence (GCAIE) signed a strategic alliance agreement with the aim of
enhancing cooperation between the two corporations concerned with artificial
intelligence (AI).
The
agreement was signed by HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of
TAG.GD, and HE Dr. Yousef Saadeh, GCAIE CEO and Managing Director.
According
to the agreement, the two sides will establish a long-term cooperation to
develop responsible AI systems, strengthen accreditation and assessment
standards, launch specialized training and qualification programs, and build
efficient governance models that support secure and ethical use of AI at the
educational and economic institutions.
During
the signing ceremony, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh affirmed the necessity of leveraging AI
as a cornerstone in developing education and entities, as well as building
knowledge-based economy, in a mechanism that advances the standing of the Arab
world as a regional hub in this field. He also referred to the significance of
benefitting from the knowledge revolution in fostering creativity and innovation
in the Arab youth.
He further stated, “Individuals must always believe in their
ambition to achieve their goals; success is a decision. Just as we led the
world in intellectual property, we seek to lead the world in artificial
intelligence.” He also called on governments to introduce programming education
into school curriculum, describing it as the foundation of AI, which is
fundamentally ‘interactive programming’.
For his part, Dr. Saadeh highlighted that the alliance with TAG.GD
represents more than an intellectual partnership; but rather a comprehensive
institutional alliance that lays the foundation for the next phase. He remarked
that the world today experiences a transformative shift comparable in depth and
impact to the 1960s, when Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh advocated for intellectual property
and the knowledge-based economy long before their global importance was widely
acknowledged.
Dr. Saadeh praised the efforts and cooperation TAG.GD exerted in
concluding the agreement, expressing pride in the alliance as a significant
step toward unifying efforts to develop reliable standards, build qualified
human capacities, and strengthen trust in AI applications across institutions
and sectors.
The signing ceremony was attended by a distinguished group of
academic leaders, officials, and experts specializing in AI, education, and
institutional accreditation.
Additionally, a high-level delegation representing GCAIE, including
the Center’s Chief Technology and Innovation Officer (CTIO), Dr. Mohammad
Sharif, the Center’s Country Representative in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
HE Dr. Hani Al-Mimi; and Consultant and Regional Head of Accreditation and
Assessment, Mr. Nael Al-Awadi, in addition to a host of TAG.GD managers, were
all in attendance.
