Dubai, UAE - His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation, announced the launch of the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) at Emirates Towers. The new Centre aims to assist government entities in deploying future technologies across key sectors.
The launch event was attended by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council.
The Dubai Centre for AI aims to train 1,000 government employees from over 30 government entities on the uses of generative artificial intelligence. It also aims to launch dozens of pilot projects and improve government services, as well as increase productivity of government employees and support more than 20 local and global advanced technology startups.
“We are confident that developing AI applications will contribute significantly to actualising Dubai's vision for the future. The technological leaps we see today will only be the beginning of our journey towards an entirely new and different future, with transformative changes in health, education, economy, media and government sectors,” His Highness further said.
The establishment of the Centre comes at a time when the generative AI sector is expected to expand from $10 billion in 2022 to $110.8 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 34.3%.
To achieve its three main pillars, the Dubai Centre for AI will develop legislation on modern technology and study the ethical and social impact of generative AI applications and their alignment with societal and human values in Dubai and the world.
The stages in the creation of AI
The year 2023 marks a significant milestone in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Over the past decade, AI has made tremendous strides in transforming the way we live and work. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives.
The first stage in the creation of AI in 2023 was the development of deep learning algorithms. These algorithms are designed to learn from large datasets and improve their performance over time. This has led to breakthroughs in image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing.
The second stage was the integration of AI into various industries. In healthcare, AI is being used to diagnose diseases and develop personalized treatment plans. In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud and automate trading. In manufacturing, AI is being used to optimize production processes and reduce waste.
The third stage was the democratization of AI. With the rise of cloud computing and open-source software, AI has become more accessible to businesses of all sizes. This has led to a proliferation of AI startups and a democratization of innovation.
The fourth stage was the emergence of explainable AI. With the increasing adoption of AI, there has been a growing concern about the lack of transparency and accountability in AI systems. Explainable AI aims to address this by providing insights into how AI systems make decisions.
The fifth and final stage in the creation of AI in 2023 was the emergence of ethical AI. As AI becomes more pervasive, there is a growing need to ensure that it is developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner. Ethical AI aims to address this by promoting transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems.
Overall, the creation of AI in 2023 has been a remarkable journey. From its humble beginnings as a research project to its current status as a transformative technology, AI has come a long way in a short period of time. As we look to the future, it is clear that AI will continue to play a vital role in shaping the world we live in.
