I spoke as a Panelist at a Dubai conference on 10 Dec 2024 at Logimotion's Global Trade & Investment Summit track, where I spoke, among others, on AI deployment in the context of digital twins to promote greater trade growth and connectivity among countries. I highlighted data as a key natural resource that provides the foundation for AI-enabled digital twins in smart ports and infrastructure design and development. It is imperative that the more developed economies support efforts to reskill and upskill the workforce in emerging countries in the deployment of AI (esp generative AI) to boost trade and greater connectivity. We need to ensure that the potential major AI divide between advanced and emerging economies are strategically managed. #Logimotion2024 #GlobalTrade #Mobility #SupplyChainInnovation #FutureOfLogistics #DubaiWorldTradeCentre

Historic meeting in Washington! UAE and U.S. strengthen cooperation on #Tech and #AI. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with U.S. President Joe Biden to discuss the strategic partnership between the two nations. This is a significant moment in UAE-U.S. relations, marking the first official visit by an Emirati president to the U.S. since the UAE’s formation in 1971. During their talks, the leaders emphasized the crucial role that AI and advanced technology will play in shaping the future of both countries. They discussed the possibility of signing a memorandum of understanding to promote collaboration in research, knowledge sharing, and ethical AI governance. This agreement could lead to joint projects that boost innovation in sectors like healthcare, finance, education, and climate change. This partnership is especially important as the UAE aims to diversify its economy away from oil by investing in technology and innovation. President Biden voiced his strong support, highlighting that this collaboration will benefit not just both nations but also contribute to global stability.
