Professor Dr. Hassan Shaker Magdy, President of Al-Mustaqbal University, announced in an article during his global participation at the United Nations’ World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva about the vital role of robots and artificial intelligence in empowering youth.
He pointed out that in an era of rapid development, technology has become a fundamental pillar in the lives of individuals and societies, especially youth, who represent the future leaders and innovators. Among these revolutionary technologies, robots and smart devices are effective tools to help youth achieve their ambitions and drive them toward a more creative and intelligent future.
Robots and smart devices have become tools that enhance young people’s capabilities in learning, innovation, and work by providing an engaging and realistic educational environment that supports the development of technical and creative skills. Through programming, youth can simulate problem-solving, conduct experiments, and develop unique technical projects that contribute to solving societal challenges.
These tools satisfy the curiosity and love of exploration among youth by giving them the opportunity to apply their ideas and turn them into tangible realities. They also foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, and develop technical and language skills, enabling youth to achieve their personal and professional ambitions.
In light of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, reliance on artificial intelligence and advanced technologies is key to building a sustainable and smart future. Youth can invest these tools in scientific research, innovation in technological fields, and enhancing the knowledge economy, leading to more developed and innovative societies.
In conclusion, Al-Mustaqbal University has begun developing AI technologies and activating the role of robots and smart devices as catalysts for youth ambitions by implementing training programs for various age groups. This is an investment in the future of a nation capable of competing in a rapidly changing world. Youth are the driving force of progress and development, and utilizing technology for their benefit is the way to achieve their dreams and build a brighter, more innovative future.
