Strategic Partnership Between Widebot AI and Ahmed El Ghandour to Launch “AQL with El Ghandour”

Widebot Announces the Partnership at AI Everything Egypt 2026

As an official sponsor of AI Everything MEA Egypt 2026, Widebot AI announced the signing of a strategic partnership with science content creator Ahmed El Ghandour, host of the widely recognized program (Al Daheeh), to launch a new knowledge-driven series titled:

“AQL with El Ghandour” 

The announcement reflects Widebot’s growing role in strengthening the artificial intelligence ecosystem across the region, not only through technological innovation, but also by advancing public awareness and digital literacy around AI applications, limitations, and societal impact. 

Why Is This Partnership a Strategic Step for the AI Ecosystem in the Arab Region?

This partnership represents a significant shift in the direction of artificial intelligence in the region by bridging technical development with public awareness and informed decision-making.

Digital transformation is not achieved solely through launching models and applications. It requires simplifying complex concepts, addressing technology-related concerns, and building genuine trust around how AI can be deployed effectively and responsibly.

This initiative moves AI beyond a narrow technical framework into a broader, informed societal dialogue.

From Technology to Impact: Does AI Need Media Awareness?

Widebot believes that the success of the AI ecosystem depends on a deep understanding of how models function, their limitations, and their impact on the labor market and society.

As the gap widens between rapid technological advancement and general public understanding, concerns and misuse increase. Responsible media and knowledge-based content creation therefore play a pivotal role in presenting a balanced narrative; clearly explaining opportunities, realistically addressing challenges, and supporting the sustainable and informed adoption of AI across the region.

The Arabic Language Representation Gap in Global AI Models

This initiative comes amid a significant challenge: the underrepresentation of the Arabic language in global AI training datasets, where it accounts for only approximately 0.66% of total available data.

This disparity directly impacts the performance quality of AI applications targeting Arabic users, reinforcing the importance of developing specialized Arabic-native models that reflect the linguistic and cultural nuances of the region.

Accordingly, Widebot is focused on building AI solutions designed specifically for Arabic, ensuring deeper understanding of dialects and diverse contexts, and enabling organizations to leverage AI capabilities without compromising accuracy or cultural relevance.

“AQL with El Ghandour”: What Does the Educational Series Offer?

New Episodes approache artificial intelligence as both an intellectual and technological journey, beginning with foundational concepts, extending to large language models and their underlying mechanisms, and reaching practical applications across healthcare, education, business, finance, and government sectors.

Episodes will also explore broader discussions surrounding societal and ethical implications, the future of jobs, and the boundaries of technological reliance, presented in an accessible format designed to enhance critical understanding among both the public and decision-makers.

The launch comes at a time of rapid digital growth in the Middle East and North Africa region. Digital advertising spending reached $6.95 billion in 2024, with over 228 million social media users, in a region where more than 65% of the population is under the age of 30.

This environment represents a substantial opportunity to cultivate a digital knowledge narrative that promotes responsible AI adoption. 

WideBot and El Ghandour are reshaping AI in the Arab world

Widebot is a technology leading provider of artificial intelligence solutions, with a strategic focus on the Arabic language and regional market needs.

The company provides intelligent platforms and tools that enable organizations to automate communication, enhance customer experience, and support decision-making processes through advanced language models and analytical technologies tailored to the cultural and operational realities of the region. 

Through this partnership, Widebot continues to strengthen its position as a key contributor to building a robust Arabic AI ecosystem -one that combines technological innovation with societal awareness- paving the way for more mature and sustainable AI adoption across the Arab world.

Join the journey to build a more aware and impactful Arabic AI ecosystem.
