The UAE is one of the first countries in adopting a strategy for artificial intelligence

Global leaders in business, charitable work and policies met to participate in a high session entitled “Artificial Intelligence and the Social Sector: Ensuring the continuity in the impact of smart innovations”, moderated by the Center for Development Affairs at the Presidency Bureau of the Emirates, with the Special Envoy for Business and Charitable Affairs in the Emirates, Badr Jaafar And, within the annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos, which was held from January 20 to 24.

Badr Jaafar gave an opening speech in which he indicated the ability of the enormous artificial intelligence to make radical changes, urgently need to ensure the spread of the benefits of these innovations in a fair way that includes all groups, societies and individuals.

Jaafar affirmed the need for a collective response, saying: “The UAE provides a successful model, not necessarily as an example of the application but as a partner in progress. The UAE was one of the first countries that adopted a strategy dedicated to artificial intelligence, which enables it to use these innovations to apply economically and socially by investing in promoting talents, research and infrastructure, and global partnerships are very important to extend social innovators everywhere in the tools, knowledge and data they need to make sustainable change ».

Jaafar said: “The revolution of artificial intelligence will create, as the industrial revolution had previously done, two categories: either a winner or a loser. Today, the majority of artificial intelligence investments flow by 90% to the global north, although many social innovators in the global south – where 85% of the world’s population lives, are measured by scarcity of resources and support sources. These are sunken gaps that we have to solve, and the most appropriate way for that is to follow a comprehensive approach in which all sectors share, from charitable governments, pioneers and business leaders throughout the globe.

More than 75 influential leaders, including the Minister of State for Foreign Trade in the UAE, second Ahmed Al -Zyoudi, and the assistance of the Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Affairs in the UAE, Hoda Al -Hashemi, and the head of the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi.
