Oracle Global: The UAE is a leading center in adopting artificial intelligence technology

Dubai, January 22 / WAM / Oracle, the global information technology and database company, confirmed that the UAE and the region have witnessed and are witnessing exceptional growth in the use of artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies, thanks to government initiatives that encourage the adoption of technology and enhance its use.
Speaking to the Emirates News Agency, WAM, today on the sidelines of the Oracle Cloud world tour held in Dubai, Ahmed Adly, Vice President of Cloud Technology Engineering in the Middle East and Africa at Oracle, pointed out that the UAE not only uses artificial intelligence technology, but also develops it.
He said that many artificial intelligence models are being developed here in the Emirates by local competencies, and this represents a very advanced step in this field.
He explained that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are at the forefront in the region in terms of adopting artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Adly pointed out that Oracle announced during the event today its plans to increase the capabilities of the cloud computing center in the UAE five-fold during the next year.
He explained that this expansion will serve the needs of the entire region in addition to local demand, which strengthens the UAE’s position as a regional and global center for cloud computing.
He stressed the importance of building and developing human competencies to achieve digital transformation, speaking about Oracle’s program to train 350,000 people in artificial intelligence and cloud computing techniques in the coming years.
The Vice President of Cloud Engineering for Technology in the Middle East and Africa at Oracle also confirmed that the UAE represents a major station and global destination for technology and innovation, explaining that the UAE represents the largest station in the region for the Oracle Cloud World event, which is the company’s most important global event.
He added that the event focuses 100% on artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology, which reflects the priority we give to these areas that are driving digital transformation globally.
Adly spoke about the next generation of artificial intelligence, known as natural artificial intelligence, which comes close to mimicking human intelligence.
He said that this type of artificial intelligence is capable of making independent decisions and interpreting data in a more sophisticated way than simply providing information, and to achieve this goal, we are working with other partners to develop new technologies and models.
He added, “While it was expected that we would reach this stage within three to five years from now, reports indicate that the significant improvement in infrastructure capabilities may reduce this period to about two years.”
