1- Description of the Proposed Research Group:
The first part of the research group title (artificial Intelligence) was inspired from UN document
indicating that AI among most important sciences leading innovation and industries. Google search
engine showed that there are 10,900,000 hits for AI research group; this makes it a necessity to
follow the steps of pioneer universities such as Harvard, MIT. The second part of the title (2030
Vision) demonstrates the mission of the group work toward Prince Mohammed bin Salman 2030
vision initiative and KASCT strategies.
According to Brighton [1], the history of Artificial Intelligence (AI) began about 3000 BC, in
Luxor, when the expert system used in medicine in the form of IF, THEN statements. However, the
Artificial Intelligence scientific community agrees that AI science has started half a century ago
when people wanted to build an electronic brain equipped with a natural form of intelligence. Thus,
the 1950s announced the birth of AI [2], when Alan Turing proposed the Turing test experiment as
a way to measure a particular form of natural language (symbolic) communication between man
and machine. In the mid-50s, John McCarthy coined the name AI in a conference in California;
with his fellow Minsky, they both established the first AI lab and it is still in operation until today.
The debates of AI related to knowledge addressing different disciplines, in the field of language
information processing, and abstract symbol manipulation solving abstract problems. In the 1960s,
Lutfi Zadah created the concept of Fuzzy Logic, with most dominant themes in Knowledge
Representation and Mobile Robots systems [3].
With the emergence of expert applications and systems, there was a booming in several sectors such
as medical diagnosis, analysis, and repair of faulty devices, banking applications, system
configurations, and management processes. Although, the 70s demonstrated the fall of AI for its
inability to meet irrational expectations, Stanford University created the automated Mathematician
to invent new math theories based on a heuristic algorithm. This was and still a great discovery. The
beginning of the 80s showed promises for AI as the sales of AI-based hardware and software
engineering [4] for decision support applications exceeded $400 million. Thus, artificial intelligence
in the mid-80s defined as the ability of machines to do things that people would say require
intelligence. It was an attempt to discover and describe aspects of human intelligence that could be
simulated by machines. Alternatively, it was viewed as an attempt to develop a mathematical theory
to describe the abilities and actions of things exhibiting intelligent behavior, and serve as a calculus
for the design of intelligent machines [5]. Accordingly, Rodney Brooks argued that AI focuses on
logic, symbol processing, internal representation, problem-solving, and reasoning and professionals
should concentrate on the interaction with the real world adding robotic to the picture. However, by
the end of the 1980s, the claim of building systems capable of replacing human expertise was
abandoned. This caused scientists to shift their attention from autonomous problem solving to
searching deeper into the origin of intelligence toward computer vision, speech processing,
perception, objects manipulation at various distances, lighting, and conditions control moving into
artificial systems in industries.
Since the 90s AI entered a new era; and was redefined by Russell and Norvig as thinking
humanely, thinking rationally, acting humanely, acting rationally [6], later the science was
introduced as the study of the computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, and act [7].
This view innovated the implementation of agents’ technology -not limited to simulation- into
applications of different areas such as Games (Deep Blue, developed at Carnegie Mellon, beaten the

world championship), controlling spacecraft, security (Credit Card Fraud Detection, Face
Recognition) [8], [9], [10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17] transportation (Automated Scheduling
Systems), Deep Learning [18],[19][20]..etc. In 2005, scientists added that artificial intelligence is an
interdisciplinary science. According to Baothman, it uses heuristic techniques and modeling designs
to solve complex problems. Single or combined processes of perceiving, reasoning, learning,
understanding, and acting to control the system behavior decision. AI ultimate goal is to enable
virtual and physical intelligent systems to integrate fully and to adapt themselves to their
environments in order to communicate and function efficiently with each other or with other
creatures in the real world /in real time through a sense-plan-act-react cycle [21]. From the different
definitions, we can build a mental picture of exactly what AI is. First, it is an interdisciplinary
science, because it interacts with cognitive science. Second, it uses creative techniques in modeling
and mapping to improve average performance when solving complex problems. Third, it
implements different processes to imitate intelligent human or animal behavior. Fourth, the
developed system is either a virtual or a physical system with intelligent characteristics. Fifth, it
attempts to duplicate human mental and sensory systems, to model aspects of human thoughts and
behavior. Six, it passes the intelligence test if it interacts completely with other system or creature in
the real world/ in real time. Finally, it follows a defined cycle of sense-plan-act-react. A good
example of that is the Robocop or intelligent transportation where intelligence could be embodied
[3].
During the last decade, AI is no longer movie stories, narrow AI is already there causing a paradigm
shift in reshaping our lives forever such as intelligent business [22] communication, machines, and
services. The concept has extended to the development i-education, i-communication, i-security,
emotional understanding, understanding documents, m/c communication, consciousness,
autonomous cars, recognizing face, recognizing speech, internet of things, high mapping accuracy,
navigation, in addition to dealing with big data intelligently, intelligent buildings, environments and
cities etc. Thus, making AI a significant field that affects our activities and productivities in
different sectors. AI innovators have developed many specialized systems in our cars, in our laptop
computers, in medical systems, and in our personal and commercial technologies. Generally
speaking, there are six types of AI (Old vs. New, Weak vs. Strong, Rational vs. Irrational); old AI
restricts itself to close systems and cannot deal with its environment, while New AI systems interact
with the environment in real time. Weak AI deals with applications in the real or virtual world,and
Strong AI relates itself to robots and machines. Observing the changes in the field and types of
artificial intelligence, it is clear to note a movement from a computational discipline under the
umbrella of computer science into a multidisciplinary field that requires innovation and cooperation
in many other applied fields such as medicine, security, science, cognition, engineering, robotics,
material sciences, big data and consciousness. Such developments in AI have assisted in the
construction of embodied systems or agents as well as in analysis, prediction and reaction tasks
evolving new areas of research. Some of these active research themes are how intelligent behavior
emerges from the communication and interaction of agents or environment(s), how intelligence
grows and understanding intelligence, enabling perception, simulation, morphology, social
interaction, language, and generally high-level cognition.
The general challenges of AI are characterized by the level of the problem complexity reflected by
its ambiguity in defining input, in mapping between I/O, in accommodating the system to dynamic
niche due to environmental changes. The mapping between I/O usually requires heuristic strategies
and forecast modeling techniques and prediction. Thus, ill-defined input refers to incomplete
specification or poor static approximation.

Based on the behavior of intelligence in cognitive systems, the importance of prediction and
forecasting, we propose the study of the following topics: (i) the growth of intelligence in cognitive
and information systems, (ii) the perception/ communication / action and reaction in between agents
within the defined environment(s) (iii) the focus on characteristic of intelligent programming in
virtual and physical environments (iv) the different methods and techniques implemented in
artificial systems or agents (v) the development of intelligent applications or systems needed to
assist the strategic view of the country in different sectors (vi) the theoretical framework for AI (vii)
development of industrial and commercial products.
The suggested research topics are extremely challenging, and will require organized efforts by
different experts in order to achieve significant growth. Our focus would be on narrow or weak AI
in dealing with big data representation and strong AI in term of machine intelligence. For example,
anti-terrorism will require handling threat attacks in social networks, business and governmental
sectors covering three-dimensional world (3DW) real, virtual or mixed either from unauthorized
insiders [23] or outsiders would harm [24]. In such case, traditional analysis and prediction will not
be of great value, we propose linking physical system to virtual system using intelligent agents’
techniques- not limited to simulation- to minimize the problem of the insider threat and to prevent
environmental threats against individuals at an early stage. Other examples would be developing
intelligent medical toolkits for emergencies controlled from distance, detection of fake coins and
banknotes, i-environment and state of the art i-services for Haj and Omra. Certainly, intelligent
economy [25],[26] and i-energy would be among the important topics serving 2030 vision. Thus,
the impact of AI in the future, with world governmental initiatives toward i-cities will enhance the
human – machine- environment(s) integration and evolution leading to quantum AI. The term
environment here used to refer to the dynamic nature of the physical, virtual and social environment
of the agent(s). For every project, we will start by defining the characteristics of intelligence to be
embedded and grow within a system.
The general goal proposed of our group is to construct systems and environment intelligent enough
to perceive, analyze, interact with the agent(s), forecast and evolve accordingly. Thus, we propose
to focus efforts on research based on AI in line with the digital transformation initiative 2030 lead
by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman and toward serious contribution to
international intelligent cities initiative as well as for Haj and Omra, with Amarah, municipalities.

Ph.D. thesis (2014): (A Study of Insider Threat Behaviour: Developing a Holistic Insider Threat Model)
This thesis makes a novel contribution to the body of knowledge. It introduces a new, rigorous holistic insider threat model that provides
insights into insider threats from a wider perspective. The HIT model enhances our understanding of the insider threat issue and provides
an overview of the main factors contributing to insider threat. The HIT Model consists of factors that are validated by the qualitative and

quantitative data analysis. The integration of a realistic worldview of participants added valuable insights regarding the model and the
factors. This integrative approach is intended to establish a holistic and integrated coherent insider threat model with greater explanatory
power, to help organizations minimize insider threat risk. The HIT model has been utilized for the development of best practices to
manage and minimize the insider threat and not intended to be used predictively. The transferability of this research was established by
rich description and reporting of the research phases and process. The researcher has taken several steps to ensure the research validity
and reliability of this study. Most importantly, this thesis has provided recommendations on ways to manage and control these
contributing factors in the HIT model by introducing an additional set of best practices which can be used in addition to CERT best
practices to provide a better defense against insider threat. It is expected that the implementation of these additional best practices will
support the management and control of internal risk, thereby minimizing the likelihood of insider threat
