IHC, a global investment firm committed to cultivating dynamic value networks, has reached a significant milestone in its AI governance efforts with the launch of Aiden Insight 2.0 – an advanced AI Board Observer.
Created in partnership with aleria, Aiden Insight 2.0 stands as the UAE’s first fully sovereign, on-site AI observer, elevating data security and transforming the way boardrooms acquire and respond to vital insights.
Upon its debut, Aiden Insight 2.0 presented IHC’s Board with in-depth strategic guidance following the Q1 2025 results, highlighting its value as a key enabler of high-level decision-making.
This upgraded platform brings forward revolutionary features that are set to change how boards engage with data. With integration to a live newsroom, it delivers immediate updates on IHC’s operations, market activity, and global developments within a secure, localised system.
The AskIHC feature offers directors quick access to pre-analysed financial data and operational benchmarks, significantly improving the pace and clarity of boardroom discussions. Dynamic data visualisations further support prompt, informed, and data-led decision-making.
Moreover, Aiden Insight 2.0 provides in-depth insights across IHC’s wide-ranging portfolio. By examining individual subsidiaries, sectors, and projects, it offers a cohesive picture of both risks and performance factors. Hosted entirely within the UAE, it ensures data control remains local and avoids reliance on third-party cloud solutions, in line with the Group’s data protection principles.
Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC, commented, “Aiden Insight 2.0 is more than a technological tool – it represents a strategic foundation for IHC. Its on-premise, locally developed infrastructure, combined with aleria’s AI Large Action Model, enables our board to operate with extraordinary precision and security. This marks a pivotal shift in the region’s approach to corporate governance.”
