UAE prepared to be a global AI hub by 2030 - Morning Tick

The region expects to collect almost 15% of its GDP – roughly $95b – by 2030 from its growing AI industry. Toward this end, it has invested heavily in the sector. To actualize the goal, UAE created the position of'Minister of State for AI' in 2017 to boost citizens' participation in the technological drive. This is a clear indication that the government wants to hold a firm grip on disruptive technology. Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, the current Minister of State for AI, recently advocated for the technology in an interview.
