May AI help you? Artelligence Forum returns in new virtual format

Dubai - Event has quickly grown to become one of most important platforms for business and government technology leaders

Moving beyond the hype, artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications are fast being considered and implemented across organisations in the Middle East compared to all other emerging technologies.
Aligning with the current national strategy for AI, the Artelligence Forum returns with world-class AI brains and unique energy that it is renowned for in a brand-new immersive virtual format.
Scheduled to take place on September 22-23, 2020, this year's virtual edition of the Artelligence Forum will take the conversation ahead and provide unrestricted access to next-level actionable strategies and tactics that will ease AI implementation in organisations across the Middle East.
Mohamed Yahya Kazi, Group CEO of Galadari Brothers, said: "Artelligence has quickly grown to become one of the most important platforms for business and government technology leaders to discuss how emerging technologies such as AI will impact their existing business models and transform their respective ecosystems. With the only forum that has a global speaker lineup in the true sense, we are excited for the delegates to experience the virtual environment for knowledge sharing and networking."
The two-day conference has been redesigned into a simpler and morepractical way to deliver a jaw-dropping line-up of over 25 AI experts and speakers and more than 15 live sessions, workshops, debates, panel discussions and live Q&As. Also new for 2020, the conference will also host focused closed-door discussions among C-level decision-makers to discuss the current challenges and further simplify AI adoption.
"There's never been a better time to set the AI-driven future in motion. As the world traverses unfamiliar terrain, AI will be at the centre of enabling businesses to pave a way forward into the new normal. We have confidence in AI, which is why we have invested in a best-in-class AI-driven virtual platform to ensure that attendees experience the same high-quality engagement that they have come to know and expect from our physical events," said Shekhar Iyer, Director of Advertising and Sales at Khaleej Times.
Darktrace has joined the forum as AI Cybersecurity Partner to accelerate the region's implementation strategies. This year's core themes include the hottest topics in AI including AI for Good, Applied AI, Robotic Process Automation, Neuromorphic Computing, Machine Learning and many more.
Some of the other confirmed sponsors include Gold Sponsor - Denodo, AI & Analytics Partner -SAS, Technology Partner - Oracle, and Enterprise Technology Partner - Dell Technologies. Associations that have showed their support include American Chambers of Commerce AUH and Canadian Business Council.
According to a recent study, the UAE has invested $2.15 billion in AI over the past decade, and 94 per cent of companies in the country report involvement in AI at the executive management level - the highest percentage of any surveyed country across the Middle East and Africa.
