In a new achievement that reflects the excellence of Amman Ahliyya University students and their active participation on the international stage, Jaafar Zaid Abdullatif Abu Roman, a student from the Faculty of Information Technology, represented Jordan at the Future of Youth Leadership Summit 2026, held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under the theme "17 Years of Giving Meet Artificial Intelligence to Shape a New Generation of Leaders." The summit brought together an outstanding group of young leaders, experts, and innovators from around the world. Abu Roman earned his place at the summit after being selected among the world's Top 100 Young Leaders, making him the sole representative of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan at this prestigious international event. His participation highlighted both Jordan's presence and Amman Ahliyya University's commitment to developing future leaders capable of making a global impact. During the summit, Abu Roman served as an official speaker in one of the event's featured sessions, where he presented his leadership journey and showcased one of his entrepreneurial projects. His presentation attracted significant interest from participants and sparked productive discussions on the project's potential for implementation and further development in several countries, demonstrating the ability of Jordanian youth to develop innovative ideas with international relevance. The summit served as a global platform for knowledge exchange and cross-cultural dialogue among young leaders, addressing a range of forward-looking topics, including leadership in the age of artificial intelligence, responsible innovation, sustainable entrepreneurship, youth diplomacy, the future of work, and the leadership skills required to navigate rapid global transformation. It also provided opportunities to establish international networks that support youth-led initiatives and collaborative projects. One of the summit's landmark announcements was the launch of the world's first Global Youth Parliament to incorporate artificial intelligence as a strategic and legal advisory tool. The initiative emphasized that while AI would support decision-making processes, final decisions would remain in the hands of young leaders, presenting an innovative model that balances technological advancement with human values and ethical leadership.
