First, the plan calls for the appointment of AI CEOs to government agencies. Next, an AI and WEB3 Incubator will be established, with the goal of competing to become the premier worldwide hub for AI and IT companies.This hub will draw entrepreneurs, AI pioneers, and inventors from all over the world, helping to transform their ideas into profitable businesses. The initiative also establishes AI Week in schools to include AI into the curriculum and promote coding abilities.

Launching the Dubai Commercial License for AI is another part of the plan to attract specialized businesses and individuals, encourage investment, and uphold Dubai’s standing as a leading center for innovation and technology. Dubai’s digital infrastructure will be strengthened even more by the land allocation for data centers.Dubai is committed to being the world’s leading metropolis for the adoption of technology and the application of innovation, as evidenced by its annual strategy.

Semih Kumluk, Head of AI and Digital at PwC, recently spoke with Business Recorder about Dubai’s recently unveiled Artificial Intelligence roadmap, which aims to maximize its potential to improve the city’s quality of life.

According to Kumluk, the blueprint will boost usage and encourage the implementation of AI in both the public and private sectors.

“This plan will be an excellent way to enable government agencies to use AI more frequently,” he declared.This transition will be led by the appointment of AI CEOs in every government agency, who will encourage data initiatives, awareness, and upskilling. “This transformation effort will be boosted by having an AI CEO because they will spearhead the data programs, raise awareness, and develop expertise within government entities,” Kumluk added.

The AI and Web 3 incubator will draw talent, investors, and startups, establishing Dubai as a major hub for technology and AI businesses worldwide.He declared, “It will attract investors to come to Dubai, promote startups, and allow networking between investors and startups.”

A new generation of AI specialists will be developed during AI Week in schools and universities, and specialized businesses and individuals will be drawn to Dubai by the commercial license for AI.

Kumluk stated, “It will inspire a lot of energy and encourage the younger generation to fill the roles that will emerge in the near future.”Additionally, Kumluk emphasized the vital role data centers play in facilitating Dubai’s digital transformation by guaranteeing data stays in the United Arab Emirates and satisfying regulations on the protection of personal data.

He predicted that data centers will be crucial to Dubai’s digital transformation effort, particularly in light of the personal data protection law’s need that data be kept physically in the United Arab Emirates.

The city’s landscape will change as a result of AI applications in a number of industries, including education, healthcare, and transportation (self-driving taxis). But there are issues that need to be resolved, such as valuation services and due diligence for startup investors.

“Due diligence is essential to overcoming any potential startup challenges.”
