The plan begins with the appointment of a CEO for AI in each
government entity, and will be followed by the establishment of an
AI and WEB3 Incubator, which will develop into the largest global
hub for AI and technology companies. The hub will attract
innovators, startups and AI leaders from around the world and
support of development of their ideas into successful enterprises
or real-world applications.
The plan also includes the introduction of AI Week into schools
and colleges to help integrate AI applications into the educational
system. This will enable students to develop skills that align with
future market needs such as coding, and introduce them to the
latest tools and best practices in this field.
The blueprint will see the launch of the Dubai Commercial
License for Artificial Intelligence, which will support the
development of the sector by attracting specialized companies and
individuals to Dubai, stimulate investments, and solidify Dubai’s
position as a preferred business destination for technology and
innovation companies. As part of the plan, land will be allocated
for data centers, which will contribute to the development of
world-class infrastructure that can support Dubai’s digital
transformation journey.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of
Dubai, said: “In 1999, we launched Dubai’s digital transformation,
a venture that has continued to achieve milestones leading to the
recent unveiling of the Dubai Digital Strategy last year. Our
record-breaking accomplishments have established us as the premier
hub for billion-dollar global enterprises in the technology and
artificial intelligence sectors within the region.”
His Highness added, "In recent years, the evolution of
artificial intelligence has accelerated, presenting numerous
opportunities for nations and governments adept at utilizing it,
while posing challenges for those unable to keep pace. This
required swift and adaptive action plans responsive to the rapid
changes in technology and artificial intelligence.”
Dubai’s annual plan for accelerating the adoption of AI and
implementations across all sectors is a major component of Dubai’s
ambition to become the best city in the world for technology
utilization and the fastest to adopt advanced applications.
