Dubai: In line with the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has introduced the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence. This initiative aims to make Dubai the world’s fastest, most adaptable, and forward-thinking city by utilizing technology to enhance quality of life.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said that Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision and directions to strengthen the city’s leadership as a global hub for technology and innovation are embodied in Dubai’s annual strategy to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence applications. The initiative also shows Dubai’s determination to use cutting-edge AI tools to build a better future across the board.
Sheikh Hamdan said that, “In 1999, Dubai commenced its journey towards the future by launching its digital transformation venture, which has continued to achieve major milestones leading to the recent unveiling of the Dubai Digital Strategy last year. We have realized record-breaking accomplishments that have established Dubai as the premier hub for billion-dollar global enterprises in the technology and artificial intelligence sectors within the region.”
He added, “In recent years, the evolution of artificial intelligence has accelerated, presenting numerous opportunities for nations and governments adept at utilizing it, while posing challenges to those unable to keep pace. This has necessitated swift and adaptive action plans responsive to rapid changes in technology and artificial intelligence.”
A path for improving the well-being of its citizens through the adoption of AI in all sectors and areas critical to the future of the emirate is provided by Dubai’s annual plan for increasing the adoption of AI applications and implementations. The plan is to make Dubai the city that provides the finest environment for economic growth, the best city for utilizing technology, and the city that adopts cutting-edge applications the quickest.
The initiative also seeks to position Dubai as a pioneer in the application of AI to government functions. This will be accomplished by integrating artificial intelligence tools into upcoming government programs and endeavors and by assisting these organizations in successfully embracing new technologies.
