Entrepreneur and influencer Rama Chakaki participated in a live webinar with Al-Monitor PRO Thursday to discuss innovation, artificial intelligence and social impact in the Middle East.
Chakaki is COO of aiXplain inc, a partner at Transform.VC, and the co-founder of VIP.fund. She pointed out that Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have particularly embraced AI.
The United Arab Emirates is “taking initiative” on AI, she said, by training young men and women in the sector.
Earlier this year, the Dubai International Financial Center launched an AI “license,” and the Emirates also has a dedicated AI ministry.
