The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Software development

Omar Sultan Al Olama, Chairman of the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, said that the digital economy has showcased remarkable growth which is two and a half times faster than the global GDP over the past twenty years. The aim of the UAE government is to unlock the full potential of the digital economy by providing ample opportunities.

He also added that the UAE government takes great effort to ensure that all the concerned parties get involved in paving a smooth way for the development of the digital industry. Moreover, the current initiatives, policies, and strategies taken by the government help to promote novelty and business friendliness necessary for all sectors.

Dubai has been seen to attract a number of software development professionals successfully as a result of the nation’s mission to achieve a desirable position for international digital investment and global tech talent.

The UAE government also plans to provide 100,000 golden visas to the best computer programming talent both inside and outside the nation as a means to achieve the nation’s goal.   

With the advancements made in several fields, including Resource and Energy, Logistics and Transport, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Cyber Security, UAE is aiming to grab the position as a global leader in artificial intelligence by the year 2031. 

The policies like the “UAE Digital Economy Strategy” intend to double the contributions made by the digital economy to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the UAE. It is anticipated that within the next ten years, the contributions made would increase the GDP to 19.4 percent. 

The Council that was held prior to the workshop also discussed the adoption of AI technologies as a means to develop digital services. The council that was held at the Ministry of Finance in Dubai was attended by various council members of the UAE to analyze the development of digital services in the country. 

In addressing the Council, the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, Omar Sultan Al Olama, stated that the UAE government will always remain committed to improving operational frameworks, establishing practical solutions to challenges, with an ultimate goal to accelerate the growth of the digital economy.

The key accomplishments and the progress that the sub-committees of the council have made were also reviewed by the Council.  All the members mentioned the strategies they have adopted as a means to foster artificial intelligence in all fundamental areas possible.  

The primary focus of the council was on establishing artificial intelligence as a fundamental working tool and also an important tool in all digital transactions, including transportation, logistics, healthcare, energy, tourism, and natural resources. Thus the UAE aims to utilize artificial intelligence in government entities by developing AI in the field of customer service so as to advance the performance of the legislative system.
