The UK and Qatar have launched a joint Artificial Intelligence (AI) research commission to explore collaborative opportunities in AI development. The initiative is led by Professor David Leslie from Queen Mary University of London, in partnership with Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) in Qatar.
As a research assistant to Professor Leslie, I am contributing to this project, which focuses on ethical AI innovation, policy frameworks, and fostering international cooperation. Supported by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MCIT, and QRDI Council, along with the UK Government's Gulf Strategy Fund, this collaboration aims to unlock AI's potential for societal and economic progress.
