The UAE has launched a comprehensive guide on the use of generative AI applications, aimed at intensifying research and efforts towards promoting the adoption of futuristic technologies in government work models.
The guide is a valuable resource for government entities, facilitating the utilisation of AI technologies and enhancing its implementation across various fields.
The Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, has underlined the UAE government’s dedication to strengthening its worldwide leadership in technology and artificial intelligence domains.
He noted that this will be achieved by creating proactive strategies, developing legislative and regulatory frameworks to curb the adverse usage of technology and tackle related challenges, keeping abreast of the latest digital advancements and trends, and empowering the community with top-notch digital solutions and resources to foster the deployment of advanced technology in various fields.
According to Al Olama, the unveiling of the “Generative AI” guide is a proactive measure that reflects the UAE government’s vision and goals of inspiring and influencing the digital realm. Utilising generative AI applications, such as ChatGPT, which has amassed over 100 million users in a few months, is a vital stride towards capturing significant futuristic opportunities. Its implementation in various domains, such as education, healthcare, and well-being, presents vast potential for boosting progress, productivity, and steering a transformative change in numerous critical sectors.
The UAE places a consistent emphasis on developing cutting-edge AI solutions, particularly generative AI, due to its potential to unlock opportunities across various sectors. Generative AI employs algorithms designed to create new content, such as images, videos, music, or text, that simulates human creativity. It achieves this by training systems to identify fundamental patterns and features of data to generate original content akin to the source material. Unlike non-generative AI that categorises or recognises existing data, generative AI creates new and innovative material.
The “Generative AI” guide provides a comprehensive exposition of generative AI, explores the challenges and opportunities inherent in diverse digital technologies, recommends optimal approaches for effectively managing these technologies, emphasises the importance of data privacy in the current digital landscape, expounds on principles and methodologies for leveraging generative artificial intelligence technologies, and features texts that provide the most accurate content created by Generative AI.
The guide features 100 use-cases and applications of generative AI, such as image and video synthesis, language translation, music composition, and text creation, including the widely used ChatGPT. It showcases the implementation of several language-based tasks that facilitate the development of healthcare, education, and transportation services, which can be readily integrated, exemplifying the UAE’s efforts to design and establish policies and regulations that align with future approaches.
The guide further demonstrates the potential of generative AI applications in disseminating information on government services and streamlining them for the public. These applications can automate customer service inquiries, improve response times, and operational efficiency. They can also analyse customer feedback on services and evaluations, providing decision-makers with insights to develop more effective policies.
In the education sector, the guide highlights the benefits of incorporating generative AI applications as virtual tutors or teaching assistants, offering personalised and interactive support to students by addressing queries and providing feedback on tasks. Teachers can also use these applications to automate administrative tasks and develop interactive learning materials tailored to students’ interests, such as designing quizzes, educational games, and simulation applications, leading to more effective learning outcomes.
