Al-Amal College for Specialized Medical Sciences, in cooperation with the Iraqi Programmers Syndicate, held a specialised scientific workshop entitled "Artificial Intelligence | Who Leads Whom?", which examined the rapid changes taking place in artificial intelligence and their implications for the human role in guiding modern technologies and using them consciously and responsibly.

The workshop shed light on the concept of artificial intelligence and how algorithms work, and reviewed its capabilities in thinking, analysis and creativity, while stressing that people must remain at the centre of guidance and decision-making, so that technology is used to the best effect and in the service of scientific and professional goals.

The workshop also addressed cybersecurity and its relationship with artificial intelligence, the advanced capabilities AI offers in supporting information security, analysing risks and detecting cyber threats and attacks, and the importance of awareness of the security challenges that come with the wider use of these technologies.

The workshop was presented by Assistant Lecturer Ansam Abdul-Ridha Al-Masoudi of the Iraqi Programmers Syndicate, accompanied by Assistant Lecturer Murad Kadhim Al-Husseini of the Syndicate. She offered a range of scientific and practical insights that deepened participants' understanding of what working with artificial intelligence and cybersecurity demands in today's digital environment.

The workshop reflects Al-Amal College for Specialized Medical Sciences' commitment to keeping pace with modern scientific and technological developments and strengthening partnerships with professional institutions and syndicates, helping to develop the scientific and digital skills of its academic staff and students and to promote the conscious and responsible use of technology.

The workshop concluded by stressing that people should lead technology and make the decisions about how it is used, rather than merely being its users, strengthening the ability to use artificial intelligence effectively, safely and responsibly.
