This victory confirms the university's commitment to supporting young researchers, and highlights the ongoing efforts to enhance scientific research and innovation, and keep pace with modern developments in the fields of governance and artificial intelligence.

Dr. Sherifa Sherif, Executive Director of the Institute, handed over shields and certificates of appreciation to the winners at the Institute's headquarters.

It is worth noting that the research presented by Dr. Ahmed Magdy reviewed the issues of governance of artificial intelligence from the perspective of cinema and art, showing how artistic works can simplify complex scientific theories such as governance, and predict future scenarios that may occur if sufficient attention is not paid to machine governance.
