With Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology leading the global fintech conversation, the United Arab Emirates is looking forward to becoming the testing ground for the worldwide development of the technology. According to a statement by the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Omar Alama, the government is urging companies of the private sector to work together on understanding and promoting the technology's use, thus, transforming the country to become the world's leading AI hub. The statements came in the light of the launch of the government's latest initiative "Think AI", with accountancy and consulting firm Ernst & Young on Wednesday. Furthermore, Mr. Alama has pointed out that the initiative is part of a wider national plan to implement AI across all parts of society, starting with the introduction of workshops and panel talks that will bring together more than 100 experts in the field. In addition, a long-term vision for supporting AI expansion with the necessary infrastructure has been put in place.
