A century of firsts: What's in store for the UAE with Artificial Intelligence

In a world characterised by technology, where new advancements and innovations come to life every day, our capabilities have far exceeded what were once thought possible. When the first mobile phone call was made, when the first electric car was driven, and when the first remote surgery was performed -- the world was wowed, as it has been with every great "first" in the realm of technology. We are consistently amazed by what technology can do, and as time passes, the magnitude of its capabilities and the world's subsequent astonishment are heightened. And as society progresses, technology will only continue to redefine what is possible when innovation, resources, and initiative come together. With the recently launched UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy, introduced by his highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai, the world will bear witness to a slew of new "firsts" -- technological developments conceived in one of the world's greatest innovation hubs which will make ripples across the globe.
