As AI reshapes everything around us, qatar Led by programs like , we are doubling down on the critical role of our core scientific disciplines. science star—Ensuring that local innovations have universal impact.
doha, qatar, September 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Across qatar And in the Arab world, competition to harness artificial intelligence is intensifying. Governments, universities, and startup incubators are working together to transform the region into an AI hub. But amidst this momentum, major voices in science and technology are urging a return to basics, especially as studies such as: M.I.T. It was found that students who relied on ChatGPT had the lowest brain engagement and consistently performed worse than students who used search engines or those who did not use the tool at all.
Making this vision a reality, science starcurrently in its 17th season. This edutainment show captures the innovation journey of young Arab innovators who turn their ideas into real-world solutions based on scientific principles. The program emphasizes the importance of establishing breakthroughs with tested, data-backed experiments rather than treating AI as a buzzword, and has already produced 14 AI-powered innovations.
“AI is essentially an applied science,” the professor said. Fuad Muradone of the show’s longest-serving jurors and a scientific advisor. “What you learned two years ago may already be outdated, but you never forget the basics.”
This belief is firmly woven into qatar’s The broader challenge of building a diversified knowledge-based economy. Under Qatar National Vision 2030, the country continues to invest in scientific research and science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) education at all levels. Hamad bin Khalifa University launches Arabic language generation AI platform Fanar, enabling Arabic-speaking innovators to apply AI in a scientific and context-based way.
This way of thinking is gaining ground worldwide. Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind and 2024 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry, recently emphasized that success in AI still depends on mastering fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, physics, and biology. His reasoning is simple. AI is a powerful amplifier of knowledge, not a replacement for it.
This approach is already science star Our graduates are proving that AI, when combined with scientific principles, can transform entire fields.
Dr. Ahmad Nabeelthe Kuwait finalist for Season 9, has developed a self-cleaning laparoscope called “Klens” that addresses a long-standing challenge in minimally invasive surgery: lens occlusion. The device uses predictive AI trained on surgical data to detect when fog or liquid may impair visibility and trigger cleaning mechanisms before visibility is compromised.
Rather than reinventing solutions, Nabeel’s innovations are based on proven medical practices enhanced by AI. He currently heads Gulf Medical Technologies. In 2024, his company partnered with Mayo Clinic to further develop and commercialize “Klens.” Through this research, Nabeel demonstrates how AI has the greatest impact when it enhances the scientific process rather than shortcuts it.
This alignment of education, innovation, and mentorship can also be seen in: qatar The Foundation’s broader ecosystem. Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) is an influential global deep technology hub and a member of Qatar Foundation, which provides ongoing support. science star We partner with other startups as part of our mission to create a future where technology and science positively impact humanity and the natural world. At Web Summit Qatar 2025, QSTP launched programs such as Shell.ai Futures Pitch to support AI-focused sustainability ventures, strengthening the country’s commitment to science-backed innovation.
Looking ahead, Murad believes the future success of AI across the Arab world will depend on people using the scientific foundations as a starting point.
“The most impactful ideas we see are those that marry AI with deep domain knowledge,” he said. “We hope to see more projects in future seasons that not only use AI, but also improve it through science.”
By investing in education, building AI tools, and celebrating innovators who use AI responsibly. qatar not only keeps pace with global change, but also helps define it.

About science star:
Through 17 years of success, science star Qatar Foundation (QF)’s Edutainment TV initiative leveraged its status as the Arab world’s premier innovation show to help Arab innovators successfully translate their innovative ideas into concrete solutions and strengthen the culture of innovation among Arab youth. In an ongoing journey that began in 2009, the show has shown how young Arab innovators develop technological solutions for local communities, with the aim of improving human well-being, providing economic opportunities for local populations, and promoting sustainable development.
Over a 12-week process, participants will race against the clock to develop solutions experimentally in a shared innovation space, guided and supported by a team of experienced engineers and product developers.
An expert panel of judges will evaluate and select more promising innovators and their projects every week over several prototyping and testing rounds until three finalists remain to compete for a share of the grand prize. Jury deliberations and online voting from the public will determine the ranking of the top two winners.
