With an Eye on Future Dubai Invests in Artificial Intelligence - Times of India

Dubai has emerged as a leading centre for research and development in emerging industries with a primary focus on embracing new technologies. Digital transformation in the government and private sector across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is further strengthening Dubai's position as a global tech hub. The Emirate is building momentum as a knowledge-based economy by large-scale adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is benefiting businesses in multiple ways. "AI is a game-changer for businesses since it improves productivity, lowers cost, unlocks job expansion and creates growth opportunities," states Omar Bin Sultan Al Olama, the UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence. Al Olama, in fact, is the first minister dedicated to AI by any government in the world.
