Abdelkareem Elkhateb - AI Researcher

I spend my days teaching machines to understand Arabic — the language of the Quran, the language that shaped civilizations, the language that deserves to lead in AI, not follow.

Currently researching efficient embedding models that run on edge devices and low-resource environments, building AI agents at xbites, and pushing Arabic NLP forward at Hamza Salem Lab.

My mission: bring Arabic AI to everyone — from powerful servers to your phone. Every small model I create, every optimization I make, is a step toward making Arabic AI accessible to all, regardless of their resources.

اللغة ليست عِلمًا .. بل هي شيء فوق العلم
لغتنا في خطر داهم .. ونحن أيضًا
