Vodafone Ukraine launches university 5G open space
Vodafone Ukraine and the Kyiv Aviation Institute (KAI) have partnered to launch the country's first university-based 5G open space. This initiative is aimed with expanding access to advanced mobile connectivity. Deployed using Nokia equipment, the 5G network provides stable indoor coverage across the first and second floors of KAI's main academic building in Kyiv. The zone is open to the public and accessible to anyone with one of the operator's SIM cards and a 5G-compatible device. In its announcement, Vodafone Ukraine explained that until now 5G infrastructure in Ukraine has largely been limited to operator offices and industrial testbeds. The installation at KAI marks the first deployment of the technology on a university campus, offering students, the organisation and visitors direct access to advanced connectivity. Vodafone Ukraine CEO Olga Ustinova said 'a similar open 5G zone already operates in our Kyiv office, and we are happy to share cutting-edge technologies with the next generation of engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs,' adding the operator continues to gear up for a wider 5G rollout. In addition to the 5G zone, Vodafone Ukraine and KAI are launching a joint master's program in Big Data and Data Science, with training provided by industry specialists from the former's Big Data Lab. The partners also plan to establish a large-scale research lab with advanced technology on campus. Source: Mobile World Live Image Credit: Stock Image

University of Baghdad to establish AI-focused college
The University of Baghdad in Iraq will establish a college dedicated to artificial intelligence, according to a ministerial order issued on Monday. It comes as countries throughout the Middle East seek to become major players in the booming AI sector, which is at the centre of unprecedented investment and interest. Naeem Al Aboudi, Iraq's Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, said the decision to have a specific college at the University of Baghdad dedicated to AI was part of a larger 'strategic vision to develop the Iraqi academic system and keep pace with global digital and knowledge transformations'. According to the news release, the AI-focused portion of the University will begin in the upcoming academic year, and will focus on AI as it applies to 'engineering, biomedical applications and big data'. Estimates indicate that between 60,000 and 70,000 students are enrolled in the University of Baghdad. In common with other countries in the Middle East, Iraq sees AI as an opportunity to diversify its economy away from oil. Experts warn, however, that AI could disrupt labour in the short term. Emphasising AI in universities is seen as a way to blunt the impact of labour disruption, helping to prepare students for a new economy. The University of Baghdad is not alone in its endeavour to formally incorporate AI into higher education. In 2019, before AI was dominating headlines, the UAE announced plans to establish of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first higher learning institution dedicated to AI. MBZUAI opened the following year. AI projects and programmes throughout the Middle East have helped to place a greater emphasis on the inclusion of Arabic and other cultural aspects that might have otherwise been left out of the technology development, which initially focused on English and Western data.
