Overcoming the Global Challenges - Securing the World’s Food, Energy and Water
2020-11-14 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | https://www.alkindisociety.org/event/food-energy-water
Invited Speaker: Dr. Adel Sharif.

Food, Energy and Water (FEW) are linked inextricably and are important requirements for national security and economic development of nations. To make enough food for a growing world population, more water and energy are needed. Ensuring water is accessible and clean for human consumption demands energy and diverts water resources from agriculture. Additionally producing energy requires water. Energy production is further constrained by the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

At the centre of the FEW nexus lies the global challenge of climate change and poverty. Critical to achieving sustainability and eradicating poverty is to have sustainable energy and water supplies that have little or no geographical or climatic condition constraints. This appears near impossible or far reaching given the current rate of consumption of the world’s energy and water resources and the status of scientific and technological development.

For energy, this is true because fossil based energy sources are available in certain places around the world which presents a geographical, logistical and political constraints. Additionally they have negative impact on the environment, which has resulted in the challenge of Climate Change. Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, whether solar, wind, tidal, hydropower, etc., though have much less negative impacts on the environment; they are not free from geographical and climatic constraints regardless of their development status. In other words, they are not available to every country, never mind their still high capital and installation costs, which can be restraining factors.

The global water situation is not different from that of energy. The most populated parts of the world suffer from water shortages and most of the larger cities in the world are located near the sea. Tapping into seawater was considered as an option solution for freshwater supply, but desalination is an energy intensive technology, which limits its use to wealthy and oil rich countries.

Hence low cost and secure energy is the key to a prosperous world. Low cost energy will impact water and food production positively as there is a plenty of water in the sea and there is little or no shortage of agricultural land. This will also have a positive effect on the environment and helps reducing the impact of climate change. Out of the box thinking suggests an energy source that has little or no constraints and that is Gravity. Gravity is everywhere with an infinite range and no geographical nor climatic limitations. Turning gravity to an exploitable energy source for electricity production and direct pumping, would present a great leap in technological advancement. Investigating the possibility of producing electricity using gravity is currently carried out by a limited number of researchers. If they succeed, the potential would be huge with a global impact and opportunities.

The Complex Systems Special Interest Group of Al-Kindi Society of Engineers, in collaboration with the UK section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME-UK) invite you to this upcoming webinar in the series of webinars on Complex Systems.

Event Brief:Three words: complexity, nonlinearity and chaos can be considered as the building blocks for the third revolution in science. The first one started with Newton`s laws, the second with Einstein equations and quantum theory. The third is something totally different, complexity, nonlinearity and chaos are the building blocks of this new science. It touches every science humanity has ever known. The seed for this science was planted in the 19th century, the real plant started to grow up in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. This science has grown so fast that by the late of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, to the extent that it has touched every corner of our lives.

As engineers, we use this new science in modelling complex systems.

Complex systems are systems whose behaviour is intrinsically chaotic and difficult to model due to the dependencies, competitions, relationships, or other types of interactions between their parts or between a given system and its environment. Examples of complex systems are Earth’s global climate, infrastructure such as power grid, transportation or communication systems, and socio-economic organizations (like cities).

In this introductory lecture to the Complex Systems webinar series, Dr Ali Albadri will introduce the building blocks and history of this new science to show how it has evolved to the maturity we see now.

Click here to download the presentation slidesDownload

The world is now going through the Fourth Industrial Revolution which is transforming our lives by digitising all sectors from education to health, transport, banking and others. We have recently witnessed a strong trend towards automation manifesting itself in robotics, AI, machine learning, super-fast mobile networks and self-driving cars to name a few. The underlying technology that facilitates all this, is advanced micro electronics and programming. It is this fusion of both sectors in one industry that is somewhat still a mystery for the vast majority of people. The focus of this webinar is on the semiconductor industry, how it has evolved over the last few decades, where it is now and how big the future opportunities are.

This technology starts from a grain of sand and finishes in the transistor!

Renewable energy developments in Latin America: Chilean experience
2021-08-07 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | https://www.alkindisociety.org/event/renewable-energy-chile
Over the last few years, Chile has become a hotspot for renewable energy developments in the world. New renewable energy sources attracted cumulative investment of $14.8 billion between 2010-19 with their share of installed capacity rising from 5% in 2014 to 28% by May 2021. According to Climatescope 2020 by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Chile is ranked first among the most attractive countries for investing in renewable energy out of 108 emerging countries and 29 developed countries. The National Energy Policy 2050 sets a goal of meeting 60% of the country’s electricity generation with renewables by 2035 and 70% by 2050. In this context, Dr. Nasirov will discuss the successful experience of Chile in renewable energy development, highlighting key driving factors and the future targets.

ملخص عن الندوه
مع تقدم تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي، تظهر تحسينات كبيرة في معالجة البيانات وقدرات اتخاذ القرارات. ومع ذلك، يقدم هذا التطور أيضًا تحديات غير مسبوقة في شكل تهديدات او هجمات إلكترونية متطورة، ولا سيما تقنيات التزييف العميق وانظمة اللغات الضخمة ودور العامل البشري والذي يمثل الحلقة الاضعف في هذا المجال . يتعمق البحث في كيفية مساهمة الحلول المدفوعة بالذكاء الاصطناعي في تعزيز دفاعات أمن المعلومات، وفي الوقت نفسه، كيف تشكل قدرات الذكاء الاصطناعي في التلاعب، تهديدات جدية لأمن وصحة المعلومات. يبرز هذا التناقض الحاجة إلى منهج متوازن في استغلال الذكاء الاصطناعي لأمن المعلومات مع البقاء في حالة تأهب ضد سوء استخدامه المحتمل. يقدم الاستكشاف رؤى في تطوير إطارات أمنية قوية قادرة على التكيف مع المشهد المتطور للتهديدات والدفاعات المدفوعة بالذكاء الاصطناعي

Generative AI tools and their impact on our lives
2024-02-17 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | https://www.alkindisociety.org/event/generative-ai-tools-and-their-impact-on-our-lives
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming a major factor in our lives whether directly or indirectly. Major companies from various sectors are quickly adopting AI algorithms and applying them in numerous fields and disciplines to improve quality, accelerate production or provide better services. This has become evident through the high investment in AI and subsequently the increasing number of tools being invented. The benefits of these tools in solving real life problems are quite obvious. However, the misuse of this technology by people with ill intentions would potentially lead to negative outcomes and might put people’s lives in danger. In this webinar we will present some use cases and tools, and explain the impact of each tool.
