Samsung Electronics Levant Empowers Youth with an Intensive Course on AI and Machine Learning
Samsung Electronics Levant has successfully completed a course on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to cultivate key human resources under its e-learning program, Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC). A total of 41 students from Jordan and Iraq were certified for their achievements throughout the 9-week course.
The course was led by world-class data science expert, Mrad Sleiman, supported by three facilitators. The 265-hour course focused on both the theory and practice of AI—both machine and deep learning. The course consisted of three main components: Interactive live session every week, covering various topics and providing direct mentorship; asynchronous learning, where students had access to the content at all times, so they can learn at their own time; and 24/7 support from formal program Slack channels and via email.
Over 1,000 applications were received, with only the top 60 students getting selected to participate. This free course covered the essential knowledge and tools to upskill participants between the ages of 18 and 29 with core competencies necessary to shape the future of technology. Throughout the course, students gained practical experience on the process of design, implementation, and results communication; learned AI modeling based on mathematics; and grasped the landscape of data science tools and their applications.
Jongho Kang, Managing Director at Samsung Electronics Levant, said, 'At Samsung, we are deeply committed to education that not only empowers individuals but also drives meaningful change in society through technology. I am proud of the success of the Samsung Innovation Campus program, which has equipped these talented students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world. By investing in their growth, we're helping to shape the next generation of leaders who will lead us into the future.'
Samsung Innovation Campus is an ICT education initiative offered globally by Samsung Electronics under its CSR strategy. SIC aims to empower the youth and upskill them to lead the next generation of leaders in tech and help shape the future. This is done by providing core tech competencies such as AI, Internet of Things (IoT), coding and programming, in addition to a range of soft skills to enhance their employment prospects.

Apple to Rename Its Operating Systems Based on Years Instead of Version Numbers - Jordan News
Apple is planning a major shift in how it names its operating systems, as part of a broader software overhaul across its range of devices. According to Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter due to the confidentiality of the plan, Apple will begin naming its systems based on the year of release rather than version numbers. For example, the current 'iOS 18' will be renamed to 'iOS 26.' اضافة اعلان Other updates will adopt similar names, such as iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26. This move aims to unify Apple's OS branding and eliminate the current numbering system, which has often been confusing for both users and developers due to the differing release timelines of each platform. A spokesperson for the Cupertino-based company declined to comment on the report. Apple is expected to announce this change during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 9. New Interfaces The renaming will also be accompanied by redesigned user interfaces across all operating systems, in an effort to deliver a more consistent and seamless experience as users move between devices. Internally, the new design is reportedly called 'Solarium' and will extend to tvOS, watchOS, and parts of visionOS, according to earlier Bloomberg coverage. This strategy mirrors moves made by Samsung and Microsoft in the past. In 2020, Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 to align with the release year, following the Galaxy S10. Microsoft, for its part, has used year-based naming since releasing Windows 95, followed by Windows 98 and Windows 2000. One key difference is that Apple plans to use the upcoming year — not the current one — in its naming. So even though the new systems will launch in September 2025, they will be labeled as 2026 releases, similar to how car companies name their models. If Apple continues this approach, the next releases would be named 27. Notably, Apple had previously used a similar strategy with its iWork and iLife software suites, such as iWork '08 and iLife '08 released in 2007, followed by iLife '11 in October 2010. As part of the upcoming updates, Apple is also planning to give the iPad a more Mac-like experience, potentially making it better suited for office work. Additionally, the company will allow third-party developers to access the AI models powering its Apple Intelligence platform. Expected new features this year include: real-time translation mode for AirPods and Siri, eye-tracking scroll support for Vision Pro, AI-powered health features, and an intelligent battery management mode. Apple also plans to introduce a new bilingual keyboard (Arabic-English), a digital pen for Arabic calligraphy on Apple Pencil, and a new dedicated gaming app for its devices. — Agencies
