UAE jobs: Technology will not completely replace humans, says artificial intelligence minister

Humans are not going to be completely replaced by technology in the UAE, said Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications. "We don't believe in the UAE that humans are going to be completely replaced by technology… We have seen certain sectors that have completely transformed such as aviation, automobiles, and transport as well. They are increasingly becoming technology-driven sectors and no longer dependent on humans," Al Olama said at the launch of the National Digital Talent Programme. Launched by Emirates NBD, the programme will nurture a pool of 300 young future-ready interns over the next four years. The programme has been launched in cooperation with the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications Office, Higher Colleges of Technology and the University of Sharjah.
