Twenty-five Indian companies are participating in the event.

Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications, UAE highlighted AI’s vital role in the UAE’s socio-economic development. He remarked, “We want to deploy things that benefit quality of life. If we want this technology to proliferate, if we want AI to be part of each and every one of our lives, we have to make sure it is also economic in terms of ability to access it, with a good economic value.”

Experts highlighted the uncertainties surrounding Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) systems and underscored the importance of preemptive measures to address associated risks. Current technological advancements remain speculative when it comes to achieving AGI, with experts cautioning against the inherent unpredictability and unreliability of existing models.
