媒體
由于私企和各國政府都在尋求更先進(jìn)的科學(xué)方法來理解和預(yù)測沖突, 阿卜杜拉汗博士的研究出現(xiàn)在各大媒體上，例如在CNN（美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)）和 The New Yorker （紐約人）上他探討了國際政治預(yù)測分析的前景。BBC（英國廣播公司）針對數(shù)據(jù)分析中的隱私問題對他進(jìn)行了采訪。阿卜杜拉汗博士探討了沖突警告和評估的應(yīng)用。在一個題目為 “與分析一起進(jìn)入不可能的領(lǐng)域” TEDx的演講中，他審查了為何過去三年與人類歷史上相比更多的數(shù)據(jù)被收集和分析將會如何創(chuàng)造未來的重要蘊(yùn)含。在中國，周正 (Joey) 對他進(jìn)行了關(guān)于商業(yè)、中國與美國的關(guān)系和科技的采訪。阿卜杜拉汗博士受邀參加2016年數(shù)博會， 并對大數(shù)據(jù)計(jì)算分析的前沿做了演講。在2016年底，他受邀參加第三屆阿聯(lián)酋政策中心舉辦的阿布扎比戰(zhàn)略辯論會 (ADSD) ，針對在變化世界秩序中的傳統(tǒng)、上升和衰落的權(quán)利與其他演講者展開了討論。
