The Falcon 180B represents a major step forward in the region’s AI capabilities, showcasing the UAE’s commitment to advancing AI research and applications.



In addition, OpenAI has partnered with Abu Dhabi’s G42 to promote AI adoption in the UAE and the wider Middle East. This collaboration aims to enhance AI infrastructure and applications across various sectors, further solidifying the region’s position as a hub for AI innovation.

Careem, a Dubai-based company, is also leveraging AI to improve its services. The company uses AI to block fraudulent users on its platform and has developed an AI-powered virtual assistant that has handled millions of queries since its launch. This demonstrates how AI is being integrated into everyday services to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

These projects highlight the Arab and MENA regions’ commitment to leveraging Generative AI for digital transformation and economic growth. The advancements in AI technology in these regions are paving the way for a future where AI plays a central role in various industries and sectors.
