The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to solidify its position as a leader in technological innovation with its outstanding performance at the 2024 Warith Al-Anbiyaa Artificial Intelligence Applications Competition. Among the 94 entries submitted from over 22 Iraqi universities, a joint project by the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa and the University of Kufa earned second place in the Engineering Applications track.

Titled "An Early Detection Technique for Autism Diagnosis Using Optimal EEG Feature Extraction Methods", the award-winning project showcased how artificial intelligence can revolutionize early healthcare diagnostics, particularly in developmental disorders. By harnessing advanced EEG data analysis and machine learning techniques, the project promises a more accessible, efficient, and accurate method of autism detection — a breakthrough with direct implications for early intervention and special education strategies.

This achievement reflects UOWA’s strategic commitment to integrating AI into both education and healthcare sectors. The university's participation and recognition in this national platform highlight its forward-thinking approach to leveraging technology in ways that directly serve community needs. With ongoing investments in AI research and inter-university collaboration, UOWA is paving the way toward a smarter, more inclusive, and innovation-driven future for Iraq’s knowledge economy.
