The UAE has continued its leadership in consolidating its global position as a global center for artificial intelligence and high technology, benefiting from its unique experience in establishing com- global partnerships in this critical area, in line with its development vision and its desire to be at the forefront. of the most advanced countries in the field of technology and artificial intelligence.

Presidents and CEOs of international companies said that the UAE has strengthened its investments in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to ensure a richer and more sustainable future and has succeeded in establishing com- global partnerships in this vital area according to its development vision, in which technology and artificial intelligence is a key objective.

For his part, Kirill Eftimov, Director of Technology for the G42 Group and CEO of Core42, emphasized that the UAE stands at the forefront of global developments in the field of artificial intelligence together with mature technology markets such as the United States, explaining that has a strategic role in this regard It was reinforced through Microsoft’s recent investment of $ 1.5 billion in G42, which highlights the UAE’s ability to promote the development of artificial intelligence and its adoption in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and energy.

He said the UAE ranks third in the world in attracting workers and experts in the field of artificial intelligence, and its commitment to building a skilled workforce is a key driver for the formation -digital change in the country, and “G42” has a very important role. in this ecosystem by providing integrated solutions, starting with From today’s data centers, to modern AI models for customers around the world.

He pointed out that G42 aims to develop artificial intelligence in a safe and responsible way, and set a framework to serve societies and humanity in general He said by launching two new research centers to support the responsible artificial intelligence sector in partnership with Microsoft, and the recent collaboration with NVIDIA, we are leveraging artificial intelligence to address real challenges, making Abu Dhabi, and the United Arab Emirates, a global center for innovation and collaboration in the field of artificial intelligence.

Jacob Chacko, Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa at HPE Aruba Networks, said that the UAE has become one of the most prominent global models in using artificial intelligence to drive holistic development and innovation. promotion, thanks to the wise direction and the strategic direction that is aimed. has benefited from artificial intelligence in… Improving the quality of life and improving the economy, the UAE has been able to effectively integrate artificial intelligence technologies in many vital sectors.

He said that the UAE is working to develop smart cities and apply artificial intelligence technologies in several areas, such as enhancing cybersecurity, improving network performance, and developing a connected and sustainable work environment, noting that the UAE’s desire and support for innovation puts it at the forefront of the most advanced countries in the field of technology and artificial intelligence.

In the same context, Ahmed Al-Khalafi, General Manager of Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the Emirates and Africa, said that the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a leading global power in the field of artificial intelligence, on led by the vision of his ambition. leadership and its national strategy for artificial intelligence 2031, noting that the amount of state investments in this area, worth billions of dollars, aims to achieve significant economic benefits by 2031.

He explained that these investments are not only financial, but also include building strong local capabilities and supporting research and development in artificial intelligence technologies, which will contribute to sustainability and sustainable growth. , noting that these investments come within a framework that aims to introduce artificial intelligence technologies. critical sectors such as education, health, transport, and energy, which directly contribute to improving performance, increasing operational efficiency, and increasing innovation at the national level.

For his part, Haider Nizam, President of Zoho in the Middle East and Africa, said that the UAE continues its efforts to benefit from the capabilities and capabilities of artificial intelligence, which require large investments and great and genuine cooperation between the public. and private sectors, which is what the country is currently working on to achieve further growth in this promising sector.

He pointed out that the UAE is working to double the workforce of different nations in the field of artificial intelligence, based on the idea that this will be the lifeline of societies in the future, as well as its readiness to establish strong frameworks and measures to ensure the ethical and equitable use of artificial intelligence, and to promote an environment conducive to innovation and investment in these technologies with the aim of positioning it as a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence dedication

He pointed out that the development of large open language models is the best evidence of the country’s hard efforts to build a knowledge economy capable of keeping up with the requirements of the future, by effectively using the potential of generational artificial intelligence, in addition to its tireless efforts to attract emerging companies from around the world to make the state its headquarters, and provide it with all the elements to grow and wealth.
