The Arab world should set the tone for the future of AI technology – The National

During a visit to the UAE this month, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said he was “hopeful that the region can play a central role in a global conversation” about the use of artificial intelligence.

Mr Altman has undertaken a global tour that also included stops in Israel, Qatar, India, South Korea and Japan – and his statements have received a lot of attention.

This is to be expected. His opinions, thoughts and comments have been closely followed, as they should be, given the proliferation of generative artificial intelligence technology since OpenAI’s ChatGPT was released into the public domain at the end of last year.
