My New Book: Language and Artificial Intelligence
I am pleased to share the publication of my new Kurdish-language book:
Language and Artificial Intelligence: From Human Speech to the Machine That Speaks
زمان و ژیریی دەستکرد: لە ئاخاوتنی مرۆڤەوە بۆ ئامێرێک کە قسە دەکات
The book explores the relationship between human language and artificial intelligence, from the nature and origins of language to machines that can understand and generate human-like text. It is organized into 11 chapters:
1. Nature and Artificial Intelligence: How AI imitates natural and human behavior without necessarily reproducing nature itself.
2. Language: The nature and development of human language and the major theories that have influenced our understanding of language and AI.
3. Language: The Raw Material of Artificial Intelligence: How words and text are transformed into tokens, numbers, and mathematical representations that machines can process.
4. Language in Use: How meaning emerges from words, grammar, context, and the way language is actually used.
5. Machine Fluency: How AI turns mathematical representations of language into fluent, human-like text.
6. The Bending of Language: How language changes and adapts across individuals, communities, cultures, and circumstances.
7. Linguistic Imperialism: How dominant languages influence weaker languages and what this means in the age of AI.
8. Discourse, Language, and Artificial Intelligence; The relationship between language, thought, society, power, discourse, and AI.
9. Creative Writing through Artificial Intelligence: Whether machines can create literature and what AI means for poetry, stories, style, and authorship.
10. Ethical Concerns: Questions of trust, bias, ownership, responsibility, and the social consequences of language-based AI.
11. Redefining the Living Language in the Age of AI: How digital presence is becoming increasingly important to the survival and development of languages in the AI era.

The difference between them is not merely a difference of opinion, but a fundamental divergence in values and morals. Anyone who reflects can clearly see the distinction between chivalry and villainy, between modesty and baseness, and between humanity and criminal barbarism.

Then: Jolani. Arabic dress. $10M bounty for the butcher.
Now: Ahmed Alsaara. Suit & tie. World leaders have greeted him.
The twist? He still kills. But now, his own people.
Last week, in Aleppo, his forces threw a Kurdish lady from the 3rd floor, shouting Allah Akbar.

This year marks the Silver Jubilee, 25 years since I founded the first Software Engineering Department in the Middle East at Salahaddin University–Erbil.
Honored to share a few photos from those humble and unforgettable early days.

Is it really Tom Barrack’s place to say democracy isn’t for the Middle East? He’s not a political analyst, yet he speaks on behalf of the U.S. What message does this send?

Tom Barak says democracy isn’t for the Middle East. But if Israel can build it, so can we. Some, like you—whose family immigrated from Lebanon to the U.S.—left instead of staying to fight for it. We’ll stay. We’ll fight. We’ll build it too.

Tom Barrack says federalism, or any form of decentralization, isn't suitable for Syria!!!
