LONDON: Fifteen outstanding undergraduates, who were nominated based on results from universities across Saudi Arabia, are taking part in summer camp training for AI at the University of Oxford in the UK.
The summer camp for artificial intelligence was launched by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in cooperation with the summer program of Lady Margaret Hall College at the University of Oxford, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Thursday.
The undergraduates will attend a series of educational programs in AI over an eight-week period.
The University of Oxford’s program complements the existing program at KAUST in Thuwal.
The summer camp is one of three launched by SDAIA and KAUST for undergraduates and secondary students between the campuses of KAUST and University of Oxford. The camp is also aimed at enhancing students’ skills in natural language processing, and learning about graphical intelligence networks.
Launching the camps comes within the framework of SDAIA’s efforts in collaboration with KAUST to develop student capabilities through specialized programs to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
