Dubai is actively working towards becoming one of the most advanced and futuristic cities globally. With numerous ongoing developments and initiatives, the city is steadily progressing towards achieving this futuristic status.
In a significant move, His Excellency Matar Al Hemeiri, Chief Executive of Digital Dubai Government Establishment, Digital Dubai, has introduced 'Dubai AI,' a generative AI-powered digital city concierge. This announcement was made during the Dubai Assembly for Generative AI, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation.
In a keynote presentation titled 'Digital Dubai: A City-Level AI Product,' His Excellency Matar Al Hemeiri unveiled the city-wide digital platform, which will provide a wide array of information and services. These services will encompass various aspects, including health, entertainment, business, and education, catering to the needs of both residents and visitors across the city.
Talking about AI and how this will help the emirate, Dr. Moza Suwaidan, Chief Executive, Digital Applications and Platforms Sector, Digital Dubai Government Establishment, Digital Dubai, explained that “The way we offer services will drastically change, and we have started today with Dubai AI. Our role in the future will be more focused on enablement and regulations as opposed to operating different services and systems.”
