The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is revving up to become a major force in generative artificial intelligence (AI), according to an industry expert. Backed by substantial government funding, new policies, and a talent magnet strategy, the UAE is projected to become the world’s number three player in generative AI, following the US and China.
This AI investment surge creates a golden opportunity for UAE job creation. By harnessing the potential of this fast-growing technology, domestic companies and organizations can become key employers in generative AI.
Several factors are fueling the UAE’s rise in generative AI:
- Heavy Government Investment: The government is pouring significant funds into AI research and development.
- Supportive Policies: New government policies are encouraging AI development and adoption.
- Global Talent Hunt: The UAE is actively attracting top AI talent from around the world.
This focus on generative AI aligns with the UAE’s bigger goal of becoming an innovation and technology hub. By building a strong generative AI sector, the UAE can become a leader in developing and supplying AI products for the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa region.
