L’université d’intelligence artificielle d’Abu Dhabi a créé des départements dédiés à la robotique et à l’informatique pour répondre à une demande mondiale croissante

ABU DHABI, Émirats arabes unis, 04 août 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — L’Université d’intelligence artificielle Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZUAI) a ouvert deux nouveaux départements et lancé quatre programmes d’études supérieures dans les domaines de la robotique et de l’informatique, afin de répondre à la demande mondiale croissante dans ces secteurs, qui devraient respectivement atteindre 225 milliards de dollarsi et 140 milliards de dollars d’ici à 2030ii.

Les nouveaux départements viennent compléter les départements actuels dédiés à la vision par ordinateur (CV), à l’apprentissage automatique (ML) et au traitement du langage naturel (NLP) de l’université, qui sont classés parmi les 20 premiers au monde par CSRankings.

En parallèle à la création de ces nouveaux départements, l’université a lancé des programmes de master et de doctorat en robotique et en informatique. Ces programmes contribueront à étendre l’écosystème d’IA des Émirats arabes unis et à renforcer leur position en tant que centre international de recherche et d’innovation dans le domaine de l’IA.

Le président et professeur universitaire du MBZUAI, Eric Xing, a déclaré : « La création de ces deux nouveaux départements témoigne de l’effort durable du MBZUAI visant à construire une base solide pour l’excellence de la recherche et l’innovation dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle. L’université continuera d’attirer à Abu Dhabi des professeurs et des chercheurs de renommée mondiale dans ces domaines, et de donner aux étudiants les moyens de devenir des précurseurs dotés de compétences très recherchées dans la mise au point d’outils et d’applications d’IA avancés dans tous les secteurs d’activité. Compte tenu de la renaissance numérique que nous connaissons actuellement, les compétences dans ces disciplines sont de plus en plus demandées. »

Le département de robotique se concentrera sur une recherche originale rigoureuse ciblant des résultats probants et mettra l’accent sur l’apprentissage et les algorithmes des robots plutôt que sur la mise au point de nouveaux appareils robotiques. Le département d’informatique offrira une expertise technique inégalée dans le domaine des technologies fondamentales qui ont été à l’origine de l’essor et de l’impact spectaculaires des technologies de l’information au cours des quatre dernières décennies.

Le professeur Timothy Baldwin, doyen par intérim du MBZUAI, a déclaré : « Le MBZUAI est à la pointe de l’enseignement et de la recherche dans le domaine de l’IA. C’est ce qui fait la spécificité et la compétitivité de nos programmes à l’échelle mondiale. Le département de robotique se concentrera sur la recherche en robotique autonome et centrée sur l’humain, ainsi que sur la formation de la prochaine génération de spécialistes de la robotique, qui maîtriseront à la fois l’IA et la robotique, afin de promouvoir des carrières à la pointe de l’enseignement, du secteur industriel et des pouvoirs publics. »

La robotique est une technologie de transformation qui révolutionne des secteurs tels que l’industrie, la santé, l’agriculture et les transports. Les études récentes annoncent une forte demande d’expertise dans le domaine de la robotique pour les années à venir, le marché de la technologie robotique devant dépasser 225,6 milliards de dollars en valeur d’ici à 2030iii. Cette demande sera fortement entravée par la pénurie mondiale de talents attendue, qui pourrait toucher jusqu’à 85 millions d’emplois d’ici à 2030, faute de personnes qualifiées pour les pourvoiriv. D’autre part, le marché mondial de l’emploi dans le secteur informatique est en plein essor, avec en prévision un TCAC à 14,5 % entre 2021 et 2027 et quelques 3,5 millions d’emplois d’ici à 2026v.

Les candidatures pour la rentrée 2024 seront ouvertes le 1er septembre 2023. Pour en savoir plus, rendez-vous sur mbzuai.ac.ae ou contactez admissions@mbzuai.ac.ae

A universidade de inteligência artificial de Abu Dhabi cria departamentos dedicados à robótica e às ciências informáticas para responder à crescente procura mundial

ABU DHABI, Emirados Árabes Unidos, Aug. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) estabeleceu dois novos departamentos e quatro programas de pós-graduação associados dedicados à robótica e à ciência da computação, satisfazendo a crescente procura global por estas disciplinas, sendo esperado que atinjam, respetivamente, os 225 mil milhões de dólaresi e os 140 mil milhões de dólares até 2030ii.

Os novos departamentos complementam os atuais departamentos de visão computacional (CV), aprendizagem automática (ML) e processamento de linguagem natural (NLP) da universidade, que estão classificados entre os 20 melhores a nível mundial pela CSRankings.

Em paralelo com a formação dos novos departamentos, a universidade lançou programas de mestrado e doutoramento em robótica e ciências informáticas. Estes programas ajudarão a desenvolver o ecossistema de IA mais alargado dos EAU e a reforçar a sua posição de centro internacional de investigação e inovação em IA.

O Presidente da MBZUAI e Professor Universitário, Eric Xing, afirmou: “A adição destes dois novos departamentos representa o esforço duradouro da MBZUAI no desenvolvimento de uma base sólida para a excelência da investigação e a inovação no domínio da inteligência artificial. A universidade continuará a atrair para Abu Dhabi professores e investigadores de renome mundial nestes domínios e a preparar os estudantes para se tornarem pioneiros com competências muito procuradas no desenvolvimento de ferramentas e aplicações avançadas de IA em todas as indústrias. Dado o renascimento digital da IA em que nos encontramos, a procura de competências nestas disciplinas está a aumentar”.

O Departamento de Robótica centrar-se-á na investigação rigorosa, original e de grande impacto, dando ênfase à aprendizagem e aos algoritmos dos robôs e não ao desenvolvimento de novo hardware para robôs. O Departamento de Informática proporcionará uma profundidade técnica sem paralelo nas tecnologias fundamentais que deram origem ao crescimento fenomenal e ao impacto das TI nas últimas quatro décadas.

O Reitor em exercício da MBZUAI, Professor Timothy Baldwin, afirmou: “A MBZUAI está na vanguarda da educação e investigação em IA, tornando os nossos programas distintos e competitivos a nível mundial. O Departamento de Robótica centrar-se-á numa investigação em robótica autónoma e centrada no ser humano, bem como no desenvolvimento da próxima geração de profissionais de robótica com competências profundas em IA e robótica, apoiando carreiras na vanguarda do mundo académico, da indústria e da administração pública”.

A robótica é uma tecnologia transformadora, que revoluciona setores como a indústria transformadora, os cuidados de saúde, a agricultura e os transportes. A investigação indica uma forte procura de conhecimentos especializados em robótica nos próximos anos, prevendo-se que o mercado da tecnologia robótica ultrapasse os 225,6 mil milhões de dólares em valor até 2030iii. Esta procura será fortemente dificultada por uma previsível escassez de talentos a nível mundial, com um potencial de 85 milhões de postos de trabalho por preencher até 2030 devido à falta de pessoas qualificadas para os ocupariv. Do mesmo modo, o mercado de trabalho global das ciências informáticas também está em expansão, com projeções de uma taxa de crescimento anual (CAGR) de 14,5% entre 2021 e 2027 e uma estimativa de 3,5 milhões de empregos até 2026v.

As candidaturas para o ano de admissão de 2024 serão abertas a 1 de setembro de 2023. Para mais informações, visite mbzuai.ac.ae ou contacte admissions@mbzuai.ac.ae
