the AI and
Digital Science Research Center with a focus on telecommunications, AI, and cyber-security. Predicting the massive use of generative AI tools, he focuses the center on Large Language Models which was a massive win for the institute. By 2023, the center had more than 80 people and was pioneer in the development of large language models with the development of NOOR (upon its release, largest language model in Arabic) released in 2022 and Falcon LLM (upon its release, top ranked open source large language model) released in 2023. The Falcon Foundation, with an initial fund of $ 300m, was also created as a non-profit organisation to support open source AI research projects in collaboration with academia and industry leaders. The Falcon Model Series and The Falcon Foundation have positioned the UAE as a global leader in the generative AI field.
195:. The chair was at the heart of the development of the small cells and massive MIMO technologies, which were key technologies for respectively 4G and 5G. The chair focused also on training top scientists and formed more than 45 PhD and post-doctorial researchers, many of whom have become global leaders in the wireless communication society. By 2017, the telecommunication department of CentraleSupélec was ranked number one in France and number two in Europe. During that period, the European Commission awarded him an ERC (European Research Council) grant on random complex networks and an ERC POC (proof of concept) on wireless edge caching.

The center, which hosted several Medal Fields, was built on a unique innovative structure model for industry, based on open long-term research grants that support pioneering projects for top scientists. The center was a precursor in the development of the fundamentals of AI using advanced mathematical tools with projects on Mean Field Game Theory, Optimal
Transport Theory, Topos Theory and Bayesian Methods just to name a few.
