Opinion: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in the UAE
Artificial Intelligence is the science of programming machines or computers to get done activities that humans can do or aid humans to do the things better, which can be learning and decision-making.
AI is penetrating every aspect of business, so all sorts of technology services companies, including mobile application development companies focus on artificial intelligence to leverage trends. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) turned out to be a controversial technology as well.
However, AI is trending globally. Dubai as a global city is home for innovation and technological advances in fields such as healthcare and education and is formulating the consistent growth of the UAE.
Chris Schroeder, the author of ‘Start-up Rising’ and panel moderator at GITEX Future Stars, answers three quick questions on artificial intelligence in the UAE, tech entrepreneurship and disruption opportunities.
*You are moderating a panel about artificial intelligence at GITEX Future Stars. For what reason you think that Dubai and the UAE can rise as a focus for innovation in AI?
There are 3 things that are in support for Dubai and the UAE as a centre for any innovation in the Middle East and other growing markets. The country keeps changing the rules to make advancement and generate interest in AI, which is easier and more reliable than ever.
With a growing talent network, new legislation, and more venture capital interest, the UAE has all the key ingredients to emerge as a centre for technology start-ups.
Today, Dubai on the Persian Gulf has grown as a hub from which tech start-ups with roots across the Middle East look towards rising markets and create data sets solving unique and large problems.
*What are the difficulties entrepreneurs facing when trying to build an AI start-up in the region?
The power and speed of what is happening in AI in Silicon Valley and China is significant - So, it will be essential to find contrasting and scalable ways to optimize these new technologies.
*Are there any other local industries ready for technology disruption? What are some of those conspicuous start-up opportunities you see?
Each and every industry face challenges with new technology and the new opportunities it creates. In a way, the key is to concentrate on building solutions, solving the challenges.
From a start-up viewpoint, businesses that fill the gap in the society, and get hands dirty in solving complicated challenges emerge. AI has such opportunities for businesses. Dubai has many such startups.
Every new tech graduate now says since I am starting my career, I would like to shore up my maths and statistics skill, expose myself to as much data science as possible and even I would like to know about AI, VR, robotics innovations in health such as genomics, and about blockchain. But I would still study history, push myself to write and think critically.
