Founded in early 2018, IIAI has quickly become the region’s leading institute for AI. With our world-class scientists and engineers, we provide both fundamental and applied research that pushes the boundaries of AI knowledge and its application for solving complex real-world problems across domains. Further details can be found in the 2018 Science article titled “Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence: A Bold Initiative to Foster Global AI Research and Innovation.” (Click figure 1. or Read more)

Our applied research teams are working with experts in different areas to provide real-world solutions to current problems. For example, we are building a world-leading video understanding platform that can unlock a new era of how to effectively utilize monitoring and control devices with highly sophisticated video analytics. This technology can be deployed for face detection and annotation, object identification and tracking, scene analysis and tagging, human behavior analysis and content enhancement. In addition, IIAI has established cooperative relations with many internationally renowned universities, such as Oxford University, the University of Amsterdam and New York University Abu Dhabi. These partnerships include the establishment of joint laboratories, joint training programs for doctoral students, exchange of visiting researchers, and joint R&D. For example, in March 2019, IIAI and the University of Amsterdam jointly established the AI for Medical Imaging (AIM) Laboratory, and fully funded an assistant professor and seven PhD students.

In terms of artificial intelligence education, the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first university dedicated specifically to AI, was initiated by IIAI’s CEO and Chief Scientist, Professor Ling Shao, and incubated by IIAI in 2019. As the Executive Vice President and Provost of MBZUAI, Professor Shao has led the university to hire more than a dozen outstanding scholars in the field as faculty members, and admit nearly 100 top-tier students from 29 countries, selected from a pool of more than 2,000 applicants. These include both masters and doctoral students, many of whom come from world-class universities, such as the National University of Singapore, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This inaugural class began their studies in January 2021. MBZUAI also officially announced in December 2020 that Professor Eric P. Xing, a top academic in the field, will serve as President to promote research and education in AI.
