More than 1,000 Artificial Intelligence experts and policymakers will convene in Dubai next week week to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by AI and its adoption across various sectors.
The 'AI Retreat', which takes place on June 11 at the Museum of the Future, is organised by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with the National Programme for Artificial Intelligence.
It's the first event to be held under the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence (DUB.AI), which was announced in April, as part of efforts to accelerate the adoption of AI in the emirate.
The retreat will host key sessions, panel discussions, specialised workshops and high-profile roundtable discussions centered around four main themes, including Funding & Financial, Infrastructure, Data Enablement and Talent Development.
The gathering aims to consolidate Dubai’s position as a global AI hub, and facilitate direct and open communication between leadership and the public and private sectors, who will share goals, ideas, best practices and success stories to inspire progress in the field.
In April, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, launched DUB.AI, which focuses on unlocking the power of technology to enhance the quality of life.
The plan aims to provide an optimal ecosystem for AI companies and global talent by offering a business-friendly environment.
DUB.AI seeks to accelerate the adoption of AI applications, which will support the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 by contributing AED 100 billion annually to Dubai's economy by boosting the digital economy and increasing productivity by 50 per cent.
Held under the patronage of @HamdanMohammed, the “AI Retreat” is set to host AI experts from the government, private sector and global tech giant on Tuesday, 11th of June at the Museum of the Future.https://t.co/e5ngOh5uUh #Dubai pic.twitter.com/9AwBcF5dFv
