UAE developed chatbot AI "Jais"
ABU DHABI (APRNEWS) - In a significant technological leap, Core42, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's artificial intelligence and cloud company G42, has launched a bilingual chatbot named Jais Chat. Available for free download on iPhone devices, Jais Chat stands out with its proficient handling of both Arabic and English languages, engineered specifically for efficient processing of Arabic text.
Innovative Features of Jais Chat
The interface of Jais Chat will be familiar to users of OpenAI's ChatGPT or Microsoft's CoPilot. The application allows users to input various prompts to receive answers, gather information, and find solutions that may not be easily accessible through conventional search engines. This capability underscores the significant advancement in financial services and other sectors relying on efficient data processing and information retrieval.
Engineering and Development
Jais Chat is built upon G42's large language model for Arabic, named Jais, which was released last year in collaboration with Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and Silicon Valley-based Cerebras Systems. Andrew Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief AI Officer at Core42, highlighted the app's mission to democratize AI access globally, emphasizing its Arabic-first approach which enhances how bilingual individuals interact with technology.
The advanced model, "Jais 30B", is trained on an extensive dataset comprising 126 billion Arabic tokens, 251 billion English tokens, and 50 billion code tokens. In the realm of AI, tokens are fundamental units for text calculation, and a higher token count results in better and more comprehensive outcomes. This robust training enables Jais Chat to deliver exceptional results in Arabic language processing while maintaining high standards in English language processing, comparable to leading English language models of similar scale.
Future Prospects and Expansion
Core42 has ambitious plans for future versions of Jais Chat, which will include document processing capabilities, voice conversation features, and enterprise support through subscription models tailored for businesses seeking customized functionalities. The app's name, Jais, is inspired by the UAE's highest peak in Ras Al Khaimah, symbolizing its pinnacle of innovation.
Despite Arabic being one of the most widely spoken languages globally, with around 400 million speakers, it was not initially prioritized in early AI and large language model developments, which predominantly focused on English. The intricate and diverse nature of Arabic dialects, along with various linguistic nuances, posed significant challenges for engineers and programmers aiming to perfect machine learning technologies. However, this landscape began to shift last year with the introduction of several Arabic large language models (LLMs), including Jais.
Andrew Jackson noted the overwhelmingly positive response since Jais's inception in August 2023. The recent launch of Jais 30B has further enhanced its performance metrics compared to its predecessor, reinforcing its position as "the world's most performant Arabic large language model".
