The team synchronised state-of-the-art text-to-image algorithms, along with
the university's proprietary picture production pipeline.

This integration of real-world data — including traditional attire, architectural
styles, historical elements, and futuristic aspects — resulted in watercolour-

style artworks that harmoniously blended artistry with technical expertise.

Three unique postage stamps — each boasting a resolution of 2048 by 2048
pixels — were generated.

These unique stamps are available on Emirates Post's online store,
www.emiratespostshop.ae.

"This innovative initiative aimed to commemorate the UAE’s rich past,

magnificent present, and ambitions for a promising future," said Abdulla
Mohammed Alashram, group CEO of Emirates Post Group.

The MBZUAI’s vice-president of Public Affairs and Alumni Relations, Sultan Al
Hajji, said: “The partnership between Emirates Post Group and MBZUAI
exemplifies a fusion of technology, artistic expression, and patriotism.

"At MBZUAI, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of AI and
leveraging its potential for meaningful contributions to the cultural narrative
of the UAE and the advancement and innovation of society."
