The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) has introduced the ‘Dubai AI Seal’ to foster trust in reputable AI companies and position the city as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
The initiative was launched under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation, and in line with ‘Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI’.
The ‘Dubai AI Seal’ certifies trusted companies, offering a framework for building strong partnerships between government entities and technology firms.
According to the statement, the first-of-its-kind initiative will establish a network of trusted companies that government entities and businesses can rely on for secure and responsible AI solutions. All certified companies are awarded ‘Dubai AI Seal’, which includes a unique serial number and classification.
The companies that wish to be selected as partners in the UAE and Dubai government projects must be AI Seal certified. Certified companies will be able to display the seal across their digital platforms and promotional campaigns, showcasing their reliability and credibility.
HE Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees DCAI, said that, ‘This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to better serve the economy, society, and the future we aspire to.’
The ‘Dubai AI Seal’ initiative has several key objectives, including providing an accessible and reliable way for verifying AI service providers, creating business opportunities in Dubai for AI companies, and recognizing the strategic importance of AI companies to Dubai’s economy.
The initiative underlines the economic significance of the AI sector, its potential to create new job opportunities, and its role in forging stronger alliances between government entities and technology companies.
