The Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence was established in 2023, and the program is regarded as one of the modern disciplines that integrates two main fields—Data Science and Artificial Intelligence—in a complementary manner. The value of Data Science is increasing daily, in line with the anticipated surge in the volume of digital data and the massive flow of information, often referred to as the “oil of the century.” Data Science focuses on handling big data and analyzing it statistically, extracting knowledge and insights from data of various sizes and formats, which aids in making accurate and informed decisions. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence emphasizes the use of intelligent algorithms to develop systems, robots, and devices that mimic human intelligence in performing tasks. The field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is considered one of the most attractive career paths of this century.
