HE Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, stated that the Emirati youth were bestowed with leadership that believed in their capabilities. “Our leaders are keen to offer youth the chance to play a key role in ranking the UAE among the world’s advanced countries, especially in artificial intelligence,” he said.

 

Al Olama made this statement during the first session of Day 1 of the 5th Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF) held for the 5th year running under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council. The event, which is themed ‘Building Nations,’ is organised by the RTA in cooperation with DEWA, Emaar, DP World and PMI.

 

The session entitled ‘Youth Session: Youth .. The Wealth of the Nation’ was chaired by Dr Alaa Zaytona, a world-renowned expert in strategies & programs. It was attended by  Ahmed Hashim Behrozyan, CEO of Public Transport Agency, Abdul Aziz Al Falahi, CEO of Corporate Technology Support Services Sector, among others. “The point of strength of Emirati youth lies in productivity, which elevates them to the ranks of prosperous nations thanks to their ample information, initiatives and determination,” said Al Olama. The minister called on youth to transmute failures into sustainable gains. The minister called for using Smart Systems which are now spreading in the business sector and competing for human beings. 

 

Youth at the age of forty
The AI minister noted that youth stage is a mental state. Some are over 40, but they are more ambitious and more productive than many youngers who have been leading sedentary life patterns. 

 

“Technology is evolving, spreading and getting cheaper every day; therefore everything will be smart in the near future. Young people have to cope with AI as a lot of jobs that will disappear. Companies are using AI to make money and gain profit as people are becoming more obsessed with modern technology. Technology changes people’s characters, habits and behaviours, and may make them more enthusiastic, faster, more open and more informed about globalisation. 

 

A book every week
His Excellency called on youth to innovate a re-define lifestyle and manage their time, and organise their ideas, tasks and responsibilities. His Excellency created a WhatsApp Team where members are committed to publishing only reliable and useful scientific information and reports after reading a useful book every week in various fields. 

 

Emotional Artificial intelligence 
HE Omar Al-Ulama, concluded the session by saying it is too early to talk about robots with emotions, as they are still being programmed by humans and therefore implement plans set by human beings.
