Establishing comprehensive regulatory frameworks is crucial for the responsible and ethical development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), experts emphasised at AI Everything Global at Dubai.
The inaugural edition of the event, organized by Dubai World Trade Centre in partnership with GITEX Global, commenced with industry leaders and professionals gathering to explore the transformative potential of AI technologies, with AGI emerging as a central topic. Twenty Five Indian companies are participating in the event.
Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications, UAE highlighted AI’s vital role in the UAE’s socio-economic development. He remarked, “We want to deploy things that benefit quality of life. If we want this technology to proliferate, if we want AI to be part of each and every one of our lives, we have to make sure it is also economic in terms of ability to access it, with a good economic value.”
Emerging as the largest public-private global AI gathering, the event features groundbreaking cross-industry innovations from over 70 countries, including 200 speakers, 150+ investors managing $70 billion in assets, and 500+ Chief AI and Tech Executives shaping the future of AI strategies.
As the first AI-focused event following recent era-defining AI developments from the $500 billion Stargate announcement to DeepSeek’s emergence and debates at the 2025 World Economic Forum, AI Everything Global provides a platform to examine evolving global power dynamics.
Experts highlighted the uncertainties surrounding Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) systems and underscored the importance of preemptive measures to address associated risks. Current technological advancements remain speculative when it comes to achieving AGI, with experts cautioning against the inherent unpredictability and unreliability of existing models.
Experts further advocated for regulatory measures requiring AGI developers to safeguard their systems against the dissemination of harmful information, such as instructions for cyberattacks.
The event commenced in Abu Dhabi on February 4 and will continue for two more days at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City, featuring insightful discussions. The summit delves into transformative AI applications across key sectors, focusing on topics such as generative AI, energy-efficient data centers, and AI policy frameworks.
