Israel is investing around 30 million shekels (approx. $7.8 million) to improve the ability of AI to understand Hebrew and Arabic. The gap between existing capabilities for Hebrew and Arabic and more common languages – such as English – is significant. The Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות will therefore be investing the money into 17 different projects in both academia and industry. “In order to promote the integration of artificial intelligence into the Israeli high-tech industry and enable Israeli citizens to benefit from the fruits of this technology, we are keen to promote and advance activity in this area,” said Dror Bin, CEO of the Israel Innovation Authority. #ai #israelinnovation #israelitech #artificialintelligence #hebrew #Arabic

Ready to dive into the future of Arabic AI? Inception, the trailblazing G42 company, has just released something that could reshape the entire AI landscape. Meet "Jais," the world's highest quality Arabic Large Language Model, an astounding 13-billion parameter model. But here's the real question: What impact will Jais have on the Arabic-speaking world? Jais is the result of an exceptional collaboration between Inception, MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence) , and Cerebras Systems. And you might wonder, how did they achieve this feat? Jais was trained on the powerhouse Condor Galaxy, a multi-exaFLOP AI supercomputer co-developed by G42 and Cerebras. Plus, Inception and MBZUAI have formed an academic partnership, offering early-release access to Arabic LLMs for testing purposes. Several prestigious organizations have already jumped on board, including the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE Ministry of Industry & Advanced Technology, and many more. We're witnessing the power of collaboration and innovation right here. Jais is now available for download on Hugging Face, and you can even try it online. Thank you Abdulla Ahmed Alkaabi for sharing this information. I am looking forward to try the model out. Follow him for updates. But the final question is, how will we explore the boundless possibilities that Jais offers in the realm of AI? And what about its competitiveness with English models? Happy to know your insights. #LegalFuturist #AI #LawoftheFuture

Our global project manager for digital legal aid, Amir Shiva, has written an article about our experience implementing the digital legal aid platform KOBLI and navigating the ethical considerations. Digital legal aid platforms like KOBLI can greatly improve legal support for people forced to flee.

🎉🥳🎉 Today, we are thrilled to officially launch the "2A2I" Arabic Artificial Intelligence Initiative. This is a community-driven initiative founded on the philosophy of "Small team, Big work" Our goal is to elevate Arabic AI (LLMs, Diffusion Models, ASR, etc.) to the same level as English (and also Chinese 🐉) Naturally, our focus today is primarily on datasets. We aim to provide high-quality datasets, especially for LLMs this month, to support our future efforts. In line with this, we're excited to introduce the Arabic version of Hugging Face H4 's no_robots, find here : https://lnkd.in/dyFMWA6R (and yes, we know it's not "no_robots" anymore 😄). Stay tuned for more exciting, high-quality datasets in the next couple of weeks (+ 4 million rows🔥) In parallel, we're also developing a model 🐪 that we hope will set new high standards for Arabic LLMs. 🔥 This model is planned for release in the coming couple months.

Inception (by G42) is about the reshape generative AI for the over 400 million Arabic speakers worldwide 🌍 with Jais! Jais is the world's highest-quality Arabic Large Language Model, utilizing an astonishing 395-billion-token dataset, including 116 billion Arabic tokens 📊 and 279 billion English tokens 📚. This 13-billion parameter model is a game-changer for over 400 million Arabic speakers worldwide , offering them the power of generative AI. By open-sourcing Jais, Inception is inviting the scientific 🔬, academic 🎓, and developer communities to join forces and accelerate the growth of a vibrant Arabic language AI ecosystem. This move sets a new standard for AI development in the Middle East, showcasing the UAE's commitment to excellence and the socialization of AI. Jais is not just a model; it's a significant milestone in the AI landscape. It outperforms existing Arabic models and even rivals English models of similar size, despite being trained on less English data. This achievement demonstrates the model's cross-lingual capabilities 🌐 and opens a new era in Large Language Model development and training. Let's celebrate this remarkable achievement 🎉 and look forward to the endless possibilities Jais brings to the world of AI. #G42 #LLM #UAE #Innovation 💼🤖
