#artificialintelligence

It highlighted the Sultanate's infrastructure readiness for Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an embodiment of Oman's Vision 2040, and the digital transformation strategy announced by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, which aim at promoting and accelerating the digital transformation of the government sectors and services in Oman in line with the global technical development. Above 30 ministries, authorities and establishments participated in the workshop. The workshop targeting all government entities came within the framework of ODP's national efforts that aim at contributing to accelerating the Sultanate digital transformation, through utilising the Artificial Intelligence applications (AI) and the cost-effective and efficient support available through Oman Data Park's Nebula AI infrastructure which is powered by Nvidia and hosted in Oman. The delivered content of the workshop included an AI transformation roadmap for government entities, their cyber security solutions, a framework for creating an AI project within the public sector and highlighted the action of the national programme for adopting Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technologies in the Sultanate. The holding of the workshop comes in light of the Sultanate's interest in accelerating the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, while the Sultanate has designated a National Programme for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technologies in the year 2020, within the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT).
