With over 40 student projects
Kufa University showcases AI innovations
KUFA— In a hall buzzing with energy at Kufa University, students eagerly gazed at AI-driven innovations showcased by their peers.
Participants from the Computer Science and Mathematics Department unveiled over 40 diverse projects at the second Student Products Exhibition. The projects included robots diagnosing tumors and ChatGPT-like programs summarizing research and answering related questions.
Hassan Maki, a computer science student and the first-place winner, elaborated on his project focused on diagnosing brain tumors using artificial intelligence. “This technology can perform examinations and diagnose tumors. We plan to further develop this project to diagnose cancerous tumors,” Maki explained, emphasizing the need for support from the health sector and access to diverse tumor data.
Mohammad Ali, the second-place winner, proudly showcased environmentally friendly artificial limbs. This innovative idea emerged during the Islamic State (ISIS) terror conflicts to address the needs of war victims. “The project simulates a natural hand, capable of handling up to 20kg, matching a healthy limb’s capacity without sensitivity to excess weight. It includes a layer of artificial skin with programmed natural movement,” Ali elaborated.
Nadine Haider, another computer science student, introduced her project “Today,” a game designed and produced in seven days for entertainment on both computers and mobile devices, targeting youth and teenagers.
Fatima Mehdi discussed her project aimed at enhancing the educational atmosphere for research preparation. “It operates similarly to ChatGPT, responding to questions and summarizing scientific writing projects,” Mehdi explained.
Professor Salam Hassan, the dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, highlighted the exhibition’s significance in connecting student innovations with the market. “We send messages directed at the market, companies, and employers to market these ideas. Their feedback is crucial for refining these projects and updating our curriculum accordingly,” Hassan concluded.
