The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has partnered with two Chinese universities to develop an Arabic-focused artificial intelligence (AI) system. The system, called AceGPT, is a large language model designed to function as an AI assistant for Arabic speakers. It was built on Meta’s LlaMA2 and launched by a Chinese-American professor at KAUST in collaboration with the School of Data Science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and the Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data. The model has been enhanced to recognize and prevent misuse, such as producing harmful content or perpetuating misinformation. However, users are cautioned to exercise caution and responsibility due to a lack of exhaustive safety checks. Saudi Arabia has been actively working to become a regional leader in emerging technologies like AI, collaborating with various entities to drive innovation. In recent months, the country has partnered with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on tokens and payments, and with the Sandbox metaverse platform to accelerate future metaverse plans. The development of the AceGPT AI system aligns with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to diversify its economy and embrace technological advancements.
