Egyptian artificial intelligence company WideBot AI is joining forces with renowned educational content creator Ahmed El-Ghandour to launch a public education series aimed at making AI accessible to mainstream audiences across the MENA region. The collaboration, announced during the AI Everything MEA summit in Egypt, signals a strategic pivot towards fostering broad societal AI literacy beyond the typical enterprise and tech communities.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
The new program, titled “AQL with Ghandour,” is designed to break down complex AI concepts using storytelling and practical, everyday examples. The series will tackle a wide range of topics, including large language models (LLMs), human-AI interaction, and the real-world applications of AI in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, finance, and government services.
Furthermore, the content will address the broader societal implications of artificial intelligence, exploring crucial questions around ethics, the future of work, and the impact of automation. The primary objective is to equip viewers with a balanced understanding of both the opportunities and the challenges presented by AI technology.
A Strategic Push for Public Literacy
For WideBot AI, this initiative represents an expansion of its role within the ecosystem, positioning public awareness as a critical driver for long-term AI adoption. The company recognizes that building a foundational understanding of AI among the general public can significantly influence policy-making, accelerate talent development, and enhance institutional readiness for technological integration.
This educational push aims to create a more informed public dialogue, helping organizations and governments implement AI more responsibly and effectively. By moving beyond its traditional enterprise focus, WideBot is investing in the foundational knowledge base of the entire region.
Tapping Into Mass Influence
The partnership leverages the immense reach of Ahmed El-Ghandour, whose educational program “Al-Daheeh” has garnered billions of views and cultivated a massive Arabic-speaking audience. El-Ghandour is known for his unique ability to translate complex scientific and technological topics into engaging and easily digestible content.
His proven approach is expected to draw in viewers from outside traditional tech circles, dramatically expanding the conversation around AI and ensuring the series resonates with a diverse demographic across the Middle East and North Africa.
Addressing the Arabic Content Deficit
This initiative also confronts a significant structural challenge in the development of Arabic AI: the scarcity of high-quality, localized data. Arabic content constitutes a very small fraction of the global data used to train most large-scale AI models, which can limit their accuracy and contextual relevance for Arabic-speaking users.
By producing a comprehensive educational series in Arabic, the partnership directly contributes to enriching the digital ecosystem with valuable, high-quality content. This not only supports a more inclusive digital future but also helps improve the long-term performance and understanding of AI systems operating in the Arabic language.
