What sets these stamps apart is the cutting-edge AI technology utilized in their creation.
Spearheaded by the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in the
Department of Computer Vision, this visionary project aimed to transform digital canvases into
vibrant representations of the UAE’s rich cultural heritage and its aspirations for the future.
The team behind this pioneering endeavor orchestrated a symphony of state-of-the-art text-to-
image algorithms, integrated seamlessly into the university’s proprietary picture production pipeline.
This fusion of technological prowess and artistic finesse blended real-world data encompassing
traditional attire, architectural marvels, historical elements, and futuristic visions. The outcome is an
exquisite watercolor-style artwork that elegantly merged artistry with technical brilliance.
A testament to the precision and detail of this AI marvel, three unique postage stamps emerged,
each boasting a remarkable resolution of 2048 by 2048 pixels.
“This innovative initiative aims to encapsulate the UAE’s rich history, its awe-inspiring present, and its
aspirations for an even more promising future,” stated Abdulla Mohammed Alashram, group CEO
of Emirates Post Group.

embodies the fusion of technology, artistic expression, and patriotic sentiment. At MBZUAI, our
commitment lies in pushing the boundaries of AI and harnessing its potential to contribute
meaningfully to the UAE’s cultural narrative, societal advancement, and innovation.”
In this pioneering collaboration, technology meets artistry and patriotism, marking a historic
moment in the world of stamp collecting and underscoring the UAE’s dedication to leveraging
cutting-edge innovations for cultural enrichment and societal progress.
