Master's Program in Security Artificial Intelligence

The introduction of this unique program aims to support the international and regional trend in building the police of the future and reducing crimes through the use of artificial intelligence techniques, which contributes to the implementation of the strategies and visions of the security authorities based on best practices concerned with developing and maximizing the use of emerging technologies in the security fields. The significance of this specialized program is drawn from the increasing prevalence of sophisticated security threats and the evolution of criminal methodologies based on AI and emerging technologies. Therefore, it is imperative for security and law enforcement agencies, among others, to cultivate expertise in AI and security, empowering students with the requisite skills to analyze intricate data patterns, identify anomalies, and devise intelligent security solutions aimed at combating emerging forms of crime. Graduates will emerge well-prepared to confront emerging challenges, mitigate risks associated with these advanced criminal activities, and safeguard critical infrastructure against AI-driven crimes. This program will serve as a crucial conduit in addressing sophisticated security threats by bridging the gap between AI and security. Stemming from the university's role in preparing Arab leaders and experts in the security fields, the establishment of the Master's Degree in Security Artificial Intelligence program aims to prepare specialists in the field of security artificial intelligence to meet the needs of the beneficiary entities.
