Dubai – Masaader News
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) promotes cooperation with international universities and research centres to learn about the latest research and developments in renewable energy, water, automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and accelerators. This is because AI is the next phase after Smart Government. The UAE’s future services, sectors and infrastructure will use AI technologies and tools.
To achieve this, DEWA has formed a strategic partnership with Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab. It is the first public utility in the world to do so. This partnership is part of DEWA’s continuous cooperation with the University of California, Berkeley.
This comes after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, and Diana Wu, Dean at the University of California, Berkeley, during his visit to the USA last June.
BAIR Lab brings together UC Berkeley researchers in computer vision, machine learning, natural language processing, planning, and robotics, as well as cross-cutting themes including multi-modal deep learning, human-compatible AI, and connecting AI with other scientific disciplines and the humanities.
