On September 25, 2025, I had the opportunity to join industry leaders in Dubai for a panel discussion on the role of AI in shaping regional transformation. The conversation brought together perspectives from across technology, enterprise, and innovation ecosystems to explore how artificial intelligence is redefining growth in the Middle East.
During the panel discussion at the Tech Innovation Forum in Dubai, hosted as part of the regional technology dialogue, we explored how AI is moving from experimentation to core infrastructure across industries.
It was particularly valuable to exchange perspectives alongside leaders from global enterprise organizations and regional innovation initiatives, highlighting how collaboration is accelerating the UAE’s position as a hub for responsible AI adoption.
The dialogue reinforced that the UAE is not just adopting emerging technologies, but actively shaping how they are applied responsibly at scale. Continued cross-sector collaboration will be essential as AI becomes embedded in the region’s growth trajectory.
