The Qatar News Agency (QNA) is participating in the second World Summit AI Qatar 2025, which kicked off Tuesday.
The two-day event is organised by Inspired Minds in partnership with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), and held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).
Through its booth at the Expo, which is held alongside this summit, the QNA is showcasing the technologies it leverages in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate its media message, as well as spotlighting the technological tools utilised in news broadcast, media reports, and visual content, including photos and video footage.
The booth also showcases innovative models in broadcasting news, bulletins, and media reports, leveraging modern technologies, including generative AI for news‑video production, which represents one of the latest advancements in AI.
The exhibition further highlights the "Audio and Video Clip Analysis System", an AI‑powered program that converts recorded video and audio clips into written text, alongside numerous programs and applications that utilise cutting‑edge technology.
QNA director-general Ahmed bin Saeed al-Rumaihi affirmed that this participation comes as part of the agency's keenness to showcase the technological potential and state-of-the-art technologies it uses to relay its media message.
The agency, he added, adapts with all kinds of evolution in connection with digital transformation and AI, both on the national and global stages, and to promote the digital future in Qatar in pursuit of realising the aspirations and objectives of the Digital Agenda 2030.
Al-Rumaihi stressed that this participation reflects the QNA's pivoting toward betting on advanced technologies more significantly, adding that the agency is committed to benefiting from AI-powered technologies to advance its functional performance and media services.
The QNA had received the “Innovation in the Use of Artificial Intelligence in News” award during the Google Cloud Summit Doha 2025 deliberations, in appreciation of its leading efforts in integrating AI technologies into its news ecosystem.
