Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Almheiri, Head of the International Affairs Office in the UAE Presidential Court, has announced that the UAE is developing the world's first ChatGPT tool for the agricultural community.
The announcement came today at the UAE Pavilion at COP29 which hosted an exciting array of events focused on the transformative role of technology, collaboration, and data in accelerating decarbonisation and driving the energy transition around the world, particularly through agricultural innovation and hydrogen development.
In a session titled "In Partnering to Create AI-based Public Goods for One Billion+ Smallholders", the announcement by Almheiri that the UAE is developing the world's first ChatGPT tool for the agricultural community was applauded by all present.
