Dr. was chosen. Abdul Malik Al-Jaber, one of the prominent businessmen in the Arab world, who worked to bring about a renaissance in the telecommunications sector by assuming the leadership of the Palestine Telecommunications Company and Zain Company for many years, in addition to chairing the boards of directors of several companies in Jordan, Palestine, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia. As established by Dr. Al Jaber has many leading companies in the Arab world in the field of financial services technology, artificial intelligence, and educational technologies, in addition to his contribution to many initiatives that aim to support leadership in the Arab world. He is one of the founders of the Injaz Foundation, the Young Arab Leaders Foundation, and the Arab Pioneer, The network of angel investors in the Middle East and other initiatives. It is worth noting that Al Jaber was tested as one of the most important influential figures in the telecommunications sector worldwide by his global telecom shop, and was a
warded the Lifetime Achievement Award by his shop, Comms Mia, and won the Best Arab Manager Award from the Mohammed bin Rashid Management Establishment. The ‘Scholars’ program was launched at the Balsillie School of International Affairs with the aim of attracting leading scholars and specialists in the field of technology governance, especially new transformative technologies. The selected scholars participate in the college’s activities and programs and will interact with graduate students at the college. They will also share a similar technical network. From colleagues and academics working in the field of technology management. Researchers, inside or outside Canada, are encouraged to address the challenges of governance of emerging transformative technology applications (such as artificial intelligence, big data, sensors, quantum computing, semiconductor and microprocessor chips, and information and communications technology), and the program seeks to attract scientists and specialists from around the wor
ld to Waterloo with the aim of deepening cooperation with the university, building partnerships with academic and research institutions, and creating a network of scholars worldwide. Dr. reported. Al-Jaber said that the goal of the program is to create a dynamic environment in the areas of global governance and international public policies in the field of modern transformative technology, given the acceleration of the technical aspect, applications and uses, without being accompanied by a consistent development in the legislation regulating these applications, which creates challenges. Work is being done through the program on Developing new solutions to improve global governance now and in the future, and improve the quality of life for people around the world. It should be noted that the Balsillie College of International Affairs was established with the support of the founder of BlackBerry, Jim Balsillie, which was one of the most important smartphone companies in the world, in a partnership between the U
niversity of Waterloo, one of the most prestigious Canadian universities in the field of science and technology studies, and Laurier University, which specializes in the field of Literary sciences. It should be noted that Mr. Jim Balsillie visited Jordan and Palestine at the invitation of Dr. Al Jaber several years ago and has a special interest in building a strategic partnership between the Middle East and North America. Balsillie College is home to three research centers of an international nature, including the Center for Research on International Migration, the Laurier Center for Sustainable Food Systems, and the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society. In addition, the college has three postgraduate programs to grant doctoral and master’s degrees. Regarding the goal of joining Dr.Al-Jaber pointed out that there is tremendous development in the field of artificial intelligence, sensor applications, microprocessor chips and other new transformative technology applications, and thi
s development affects all aspects of life and has reached the point of interfering in the human brain, such as a brain chip that can be implanted. Inside the human brain, this is welcomed by those immersed in scientific research, and they believe that such a chip can treat diseases that traditional medicine cannot interact with, especially since it is a small robot that inserts threads of fine electrodes through the skull into the brain, in addition to platforms Artificial intelligence, which is spreading unprecedentedly, and other applications. Therefore, the basic question is: What is the ethical, legal and legislative framework for such applications? There is a deep gap between technical development and possible uses and applications and the establishment of a governance system that protects human rights and prevents absolute control over capabilities. People and making them controlled tools. Balsillie College is the global leader in this field and this program aims to bring together the best minds around
the world to deal with this challenge. The other part is my desire to build a real partnership between the Arab world and Canada and North America, through work. To build partnerships between Balsillie and many research and decision-making centres, universities and Arab minds that are undoubtedly able to contribute to building a global governance system that takes into account the needs, particularities and differences between human societies. Al-Jaber added, ‘I hope that this will enable me to continue the construction process that I began more than thirty years ago. This process is based on the fact that Arab minds are able to contribute, in addition to the developments taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Jordan, and the interest of decision makers at the highest level in the developments.’ What is happening in the field of artificial intelligence, sensor systems, chips, and technological development gives me optimism that this step came at the right time. My compass has always be
en and will remain my belonging to my Arab homeland and my eagerness to serve it and contribute to the process of development and modernization that we desperately need.As for the other part, it is my desire to build a true partnership between the Arab world and Canada and North America, by working to build partnerships between Balsili and many research and decision-making centers, universities and Arab minds that are undoubtedly able to contribute to building a global governance system.
