Dr. Fatmah Baothman, a Jeddah-born Saudi woman, just became the first woman in the Middle East with a PhD in Modern Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n

She is hoping to work with AI to solve complex problems humanity faces<\/h3>\n

She told Arab News<\/a> that she was first introduced to AI while studying English in the US and dealing with computer systems that help and assist non-native English speakers.<\/p>\n

Then, in 2003, she graduated from the University of Huddesfield in the UK, where she earned a PhD in AI that deals with automatic speech recognition in Arabic.<\/p>\n

Her hope is to eventually tackle different fields with AI including poverty and economic development<\/h3>\n

She is currently working as an advisor to a Spanish technology start-up focused on improving daily clinical practice and decision-making. The start-up has just signed an agreement with a Saudi company specialized in AI technology and products.<\/p>\n
