With the participation of over 50 universities and international think tanks
Dubai – Artificial Intelligence Journalism
The Artificial Intelligence Journalism for Research and Forecasting (AIJRF) has announced the global launch of the Artificial Intelligence Journalism World Forum (AIJWF). This platform will serve as the bedrock for the rigorous study and intellectual expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) journalism under the slogan “Designing the Future of Media, Touching Human Lives 2050″.
“In continuation of the scientific and academic efforts of the AIJRF, we have announced the global forum as the first global platform to research and explore AI journalism and 7G journalism,” Professor Mohammed Ali Shouman, president of the Global Artificial Intelligence Journalism Forum (GAIJF), said.

“The forum will explain the underlying features of the new media era ushered in by the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), with a specific vision to create a world-class network of researchers and academics who specialise in media and 4IR under the banner of developing AI technologies,” he added.
“The first annual meeting of the AIJWF, to be held in Dubai, will include over 200 participants, academics and media experts who specialise in AI journalism and 7G journalism technologies. Academics will represent universities and research centres from the United States and Europe, as well as regional universities from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait and Bahrain,” said Professor Shouman.
Significant Experiences
“The AIJWF is the world’s leading platform in designing the future of media and touching human lives. It seeks to explore the era of artificial intelligence journalism and 7G journalism, by presenting real experiences for international media in the use of AI technologies in editing and writing processes, data analysis, detection of fake news, use of 3D printing, big data analysis, data journalism, and other technologies of 4IR related to media,” said Professor Mohamed Abdulzaher, CEO of the global forum and a pioneer in artificial intelligence journalism.
He added: “The AIJWF forum also aims to study everything related to artificial intelligence technologies and 4IR and their positive reflection on people, while developing a team of researchers and scholars in the field of artificial intelligence journalism, and assisting universities and research centres in providing scientific curriculums on intelligence journalism. In addition, the forum hopes to inform media outlets – especially Arabic ones – in ways to take advantage of the new technologies of the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions as they are integrated in the media industry.”
