Emirati twins leverage Al to make roads safer

THEY'RE DEVELOPING SYSTEMS TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS

- BY ASHWANI KUMAR Chief Reporter

When Abdulla and Abdulrahman Al Marzooqi enter a room, heads turn and it's hard not to do a double take. The identical Emirati twins don't just share matching features, they share a mission: To make the UAE's roads safer using artificial intelligence.

The duo recently graduated from the Mohammad Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), each earning a Master of Science in Machine Learning. Both focused on transportation safety, using AI to solve real-world problems. Though their research journeys took different paths, their combined work could transform traffic safety across the nation.

Two systems, one vision

Abdulla's thesis: 'Multimodal Agentic System for Highway Safety Monitoring' focused on highway safety what happens outside the vehicle. He developed two agentic systems: One for describing driving scenes and another for generating automatic accident reports.
