Watch: Dubai opens first AI-powered firefighting centre with virtual officers that can speak multiple languages

Dubai has unveiled a groundbreaking civil defence hub that is powered by advanced artificial intelligence technology — an infrastructure that is the first of its kind.

Lt-Gen Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, recently inaugurated the Civil Defense Readiness Room at the General Directorate of Civil Defence in Dubai.

This state-of-the-art facility is equipped with intelligent proactive systems. By analysing scientific data and other factors, it enhances the Civil Defence team's capability to tackle challenges arising from fires.

Another notable feature of the hub is the use of virtual officers proficient in multiple languages, which could help the team implement firefighting strategies.

Since the implementation of these advanced systems, target areas have witnessed a remarkable decrease in accident rates.
