A group of experts from around the world gathered at the Dubai Museum of the Future said that Dubai could stand out in the race to become the world’s city that aspires to be the next Silicon Valley, imagining the city as a place capable of envisioning, imagining and bringing things to life.
During a panel discussion titled ‘Government, Business and Science’ at the ‘Machines Can See 2023’ summit, experts spoke about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UAE and its potential to become the next Silicon Valley.
Policy makers from the public sector, business and academia explore the seamless possibilities of AI, arguing that Dubai and the UAE are fast becoming a hub for advanced technologies, especially when it comes to AI.
“We are honored to host the ‘Machines Can See 2023’ summit in the UAE.
