Dubai Future Week, held in the 2071 Emirates Towers, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation, continued success stories in Dubai in the innovation sectors Entrepreneurship, where the third day of events witnessed a wide participation of members of the community, who experienced a range of future experiences.

The Dubai Future Week, organized by the Dubai Future Foundation, aims to inspire young people, engage the community in innovation, and support creative talents and minds.

Dubai Future Week addresses three main themes: Imagining the Future, Designing the Future, and Implementing the Future.

Accelerated arithmetic

The UAE researcher candidate for a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering and the physical laws of atomic reactors, the young innovator Abdullah Al-Hajri, introduced an innovative mathematical accelerator and a new experimental mathematical theory, enabling future nuclear reactor designers to analyze quantitative information directly, shorten thousands of long working hours, and save a lot of painstaking efforts The engineers and cadres of nuclear plants.

Al-Hajri believes that honoring the innovators in such an event is an incentive to continue giving and achievement, and encourages young people to innovate and find solutions to the challenges facing their societies, stressing that the problems and challenges today need solutions with visions and global trends, and this is the great responsibility that lies with Experts and minds meet during Dubai Future Week to realize these visions.

Al-Hajri's computational acceleration helps to accurately and proactively calculate the size and results of atomic reactions in nuclear reactors used to generate power, feed future cities with their electricity needs, desalination of sea water or other vital tasks needed by human populations, as well as feed motor vehicles. And nuclear power plants.

Al-Hajri's data analysis accelerates the traditional methods used worldwide to calculate the results of nuclear reactions, methods that have long been adopted in two basic phases: processing that takes quantitative mechanical information about a nuclear reaction to extract its data, and the data-entry stage to infer the reaction rates, and determine their results. The final.

Al-Hajri is working on a new method to activate the easy storage mechanisms for quantitative mechanical information, which is more accessible than the storage of nuclear reaction data, to enhance the computer memory of the reactors with useful information and data required, to reflect the acceleration of extraction rates of nuclear interaction.

Innovation takes into account the laws of physics involved in the calculations of nuclear dispersion, measuring the temperatures associated with its operations, and increases the speed of analysis, and reduces the storage memory required in nuclear plants and reactors, and centers responsible for controlling their operations.

Future Robots

Lebanese innovator Abbas Sidawi, a participant in Dubai Future Week, designed the Felix mobile robot, fully self-controlled, designed to work in indoor locations, and has a special map of the surrounding environment, used to navigate the place, and avoid fixed and moving obstacles. To passers-by, predict their age, analyze their clothes, and then based on this data analyze their interests, display ads and information of interest to them.

Once the Felix battery is running out of power, the robot automatically goes to its charging station and then returns to normal tasks.

He also developed a symbolic figure that displays Felix robots to interact with passers-by, and attract their attention, and Sidawi's innovations in his ambitious designs reflect the latest applications of artificial intelligence in robotic design to program robotic tasks that go beyond the stage of intelligence to the stage of consciousness, so that future robots become conscious robots capable of making the right decisions, According to ethical standards.

Youth debate

During its participation in the events, the Federal Youth Foundation organized a youth debate entitled "The nature of social media and its negative or positive impact on mental health."

The debate comes at a time when studies indicate that 39% of the population in the Arab region use social networks, 64% of them young people, which aims to create awareness among young people of the optimal investment of social media platforms in the service of society.

The debate, which was held at the Dubai Youth Center, was attended by a large group of young people, in addition to a number of mental health experts, and a group of influential and social networking professionals.

Rashid Al Shamsi, Director of Initiatives at the Federal Youth Foundation, said: “Young people are the most used category of social networking sites, which have become an important source of access to knowledge, information and news on the whole range of issues in their surroundings. Their mental health, and their suggestions on ways to help them to make the best use of them, to create more effective communication, which is a fundamental pillar in the promotion of their national identity and community values, and channel their energies to contribute to the advancement of their reality, And serve the process of development and progress in their communities ».

The team believed that the addiction to use these sites for a long time a day leads to a state of depression in the long term, especially since the high exposure to them results in the dispersion of ideas, and therefore the inability to pay attention and concentration in many other aspects, which causes a negative impact on Mental health, poor mood, because of the isolation situation that the user of these sites frequently.

The opposition team considered that optimal use would contribute to inspire individuals, and increase their knowledge by identifying all the issues and topics that revolve in their surroundings, as they are important means of access to information and news, as it will contribute to stimulate individuals and young people to creativity and innovation, And by taking advantage of the experiences of other users of these sites.

A panel of experts and specialists assessed the performance of the two teams in the discussion and dialogue, as well as the ability to persuade, through the study of relevant studies, which included the members of the committee included Ghaith Abdulrahman, Maryam Al-Muhairi and Yousef Wejdan.

Employing emerging technologies

Speakers at the Future Cities session stressed the importance of using big data and emerging technologies to shape future cities, creating new lifestyles that fit the future trends of the sectors most relevant to human life, and finding innovative solutions to various future challenges.

As part of the Emtec MENA Emerging Technologies Conference, Future Cities focused on the growing needs of artificial intelligence as a new phenomenon of social interactions in smart cities, and the possibility to follow all sectors, thus contributing to enhance the quality of life of individuals and meet their aspirations for access. The best service.

Future Sports

Future sports are beginning to become apparent. The so-called interactive immersion in physical exercise based on virtual reality seems to be essential, as runners, cyclists, cavalry, motorists and motorcycles will be able to choose a track that may be anywhere in the world, or even in space. Or, perhaps, in a virtual world, even combat gamers may be able to challenge any hero, at least by default.

• 39% of the population in the Arab region use social networks.
