The UAE now has an Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council (AIATC), after Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan issued a law establishing the council and appointing its leadership team, according to a Dubai Media Office statement.
The scope: AIATC will be responsible for creating research programs focused on artificial intelligence and advanced technology, with an eye to developing “policies and strategies related to research, infrastructure and investments in artificial intelligence and advanced technology in Abu Dhabi,” the statement says.
REMEMBER- We already have the Advanced Technology Research Council, which appears to be a separate entity that will continue to operate independently of AIATC with a different leadership team.
At the top: Sheikh Mohamed has tapped Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan as AIATC’s chairman, while Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan as vice chairman. Other members of the council include Mubadala CEO and Managing Director Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, e& Chairman Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, EDGE Group Chairman Faisal Abdulaziz Al Bannai, and G42 CEO Peng Xiao.
