"BCG"UAE is a global model that combines ambition and implementation in the world of artificial intelligence

Dubai, April 24 / WAM / The Boston International Consulting Group “BCG” confirmed that the UAE stands out on the list of countries competing globally in the field of artificial intelligence, thanks to its ambitious vision and its integrated model that combines research, development, innovation and actual implementation on the ground.

In an interview with the Emirates News Agency, “WAM”, Faisal Hammadi, the director and partner in the group, said, on the sidelines of the “Dubai AI Festival” and in conjunction with the Foundation’s launch of the artificial intelligence report in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, that the report provides a comprehensive assessment of the level of states progress in the field of artificial intelligence, through a number of dimensions that include ambition, targeted areas, and the ability to spread applications, along with the environment of innovation and scientific research.
He added that the UAE leads the scene in the Middle East and North Africa in terms of its ambition in artificial intelligence, but at the same time it is among the most prominent countries on the global scene in terms of practical implementation, which enhances its position as a leading force in this field.
He explained that the UAE is not satisfied with adopting artificial intelligence, but rather works to develop it, within the framework of a comprehensive approach led by the government, stressing that the UAE has moved from the stage of aspirations and ideas to the stage of broad implementation, through initiatives and programs such as the “Dubai Future Singles”, which seeks to employ artificial intelligence in vital sectors.
He stressed the importance of ensuring a fair and available access to artificial intelligence techniques globally, warning of the concentration of strength and knowledge in the hands of a limited number of countries and major companies, such as the United States and China, which collectively acquire between 70 to 80% of the basic ingredients for success in artificial intelligence, such as ideas, talents and capital.
He explained that this gap is clearly shown in patent registration indicators, the flow of competencies and the emergence of emerging technical companies.
He called for the promotion of comprehensive participation of various actors in the system, with the aim of achieving a more just and more comprehensive future in the field of artificial intelligence.
With regard to infrastructure, Hammadi pointed out the importance of providing public and private digital withdrawals that are available to broader slices of individuals and institutions at a low cost, which contributes to reducing the costs of innovation and training training, considering that the infrastructure is “artificial intelligence economy fuel”.
He stressed the necessity of providing open source artificial intelligence models, especially in the fields related to health, education and government services, to enable researchers and companies emerging to build on them and expand their use in community service.
