The UAE Government has taken an important step in bolstering its role as an international leader in harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) with the launch of a guide for the successful utilization of generative AI applications such as ChatGPT. This guideline was released in line with the directives of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to increase AI-powered initiatives and strategies in the government’s working model.
Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, spoke about the launch of the guide, noting the government’s commitment to reinforcing the nation’s standing as a pioneer in the field of AI, by formulating regulatory policies that would limit the negative uses of technology, as well as keeping up on the latest digital advancements and trends in order to give the public the best digital solutions. He also stressed the importance of the guide in illustrating how the UAE government envisions technology to optimally be employed in various fields.
The Generative AI Guide is designed to be a valuable resource for government units and entities, and amongst its contents, you can find a broad discussion of what generative AI is and its implications, 100 use cases, and examples of language-based tasks that can be used for healthcare, transportation, and education services.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered a game-changer in the digital world. Unlike non-generative AI which is just used to spot patterns and recognize already existing data, generative AI fosters creativity by enabling the automation of new content such as images, music, videos, and texts through the usage of specific algorithms. The use of ChatGPT, one of the AI applications mentioned in the guide, has reached 100 million users and is being used in areas such as healthcare, wellness, and education.
ChatGPT is one of the most prominent and widely used generative AI applications and it is acclaimed for its readiness in implementation. Depicted in the article, the AI-powered bot is a noteworthy feature of the overall guide and its user service is intended for automating customer inquiries for more efficient responses, as well as for providing decision-makers insights on customer feedback, so that government policies can be rewritten more effectively.
In addition to its customer service, ChatGPT is being utilized as a powerful teaching assistant and personal assistant for students, providing personalized and interactive support for queries and for feedback. Moreover, teachers can use it for administrative tasks and to personalize educational materials according to the student’s interests.
The Artificial Intelligence Digital Economy Applications Office, which spearheaded the launch of the Generative AI Guide, is a private enterprise out of Dubai dedicated to creating platforms and opportunities for AI-based businesses in the UAE. The Office looks to continuously introduce appropriate regulations to ensure data privacy and to secure support for AI research in the nation.
