GITEX, especially "AI Super Tuesday," has set the tone for what's to come in the future of AI and emerging technologies.

How Did AI Super Tuesday Set the Tone at GITEX Global 2024?

AI Super Tuesday, one of the five themed days at GITEX 2024, introduced groundbreaking innovations that promise to reshape industries.

Focused entirely on artificial intelligence, this day brought forward several thought leaders, AI innovators, and global experts discussing how AI is being integrated into everyday processes and sectors.

The day was packed with keynote sessions and panel discussions on the future of AI, its practical applications, and its growing role in industries such as AI in healthcare, aerospace, and finance.

From AI-driven healthcare solutions to AI-enhanced aviation technologies, AI Super Tuesday demonstrated the powerful role AI is expected to play.

For example, AI’s role in drug discovery was highlighted as one of the most promising breakthroughs. As the world embraces AI to optimize traditional processes, GITEX Global 2024 showcased how close we are to major transformations in medicine and other sectors.

What Are the Breakthrough Innovations in AI for Drug Discovery?

The session titled ‘The Next Leap in Medicine: Are we on the Edge of a Breakthrough?’ shed light on how AI is drastically changing drug discovery. AI has the potential to significantly reduce the time and cost of developing new medicines, which traditionally takes over a decade and costs billions of dollars.

Experts at GITEX Dubai 2024 discussed the future of AI-driven medicine, noting that AI could streamline drug discovery, resulting in faster cures and more efficient healthcare solutions.

As Dr. Shameer Khader, Global Head and Executive Director of Computational Biology at Sanofi, expressed, “Drug discovery on average takes 10-15 years and one project around $1.5-2 billion in cost. Is that something sustainable? The model must change, and we should harness AI capabilities and value across the ecosystem.”

By automating parts of the drug discovery process and creating data disease models, AI can cut costs and reduce the time to market for new drugs. This kind of efficiency would not only benefit pharmaceutical companies but also revolutionize patient care globally.

How Is ‘BabyX’ Shaping the Future of AI-Human Interaction?

One of the standout AI innovations showcased at GITEX Global 2024 is ‘BabyX,’ a virtual simulation of a human infant. Created by Dr. Mark Sagar, its creator and co-founder of the New Zealand-based company Soul Machines, BabyX offers a glimpse into the future of AI-human interaction.

Powered by biological AI, BabyX reacts and learns in a manner similar to a human infant, paving the way for advanced cognitive systems that could revolutionize industries such as education, healthcare, and entertainment.

BabyX utilizes a complex AI system that mimics neurochemical reactions in the human brain, allowing it to simulate human emotions and responses. This innovation marks a step toward creating AI systems capable of learning through experience, much like humans do.

Discussing the importance of BabyX, Dr. Mark Sagar, highlighted the key difference between human and AI intelligence.

He stated, “As humans, we learn from a young age through exploring the world and experimenting. Play is such a key part of making intelligence open-ended and inventive, but it’s one thing that’s missing from current AI.

If we’re ever going to regulate general AI intelligence, we need to build cognitive architecture that yields intelligent behavior through a comprehensive approach.”

What Do High-Profile Partnerships Mean for AI’s Future?

GITEX Global 2024 witnessed the announcement of several high-profile partnerships that will drive the future of AI.

Among the most notable were agreements between industry giants like AWS and e&, alongside collaborations such as the partnership between Digital Dubai and Microsoft.

These partnerships are set to enhance AI deployment across various sectors, from cloud computing to digital transformation.

According to Forbes Middle East, The AWS and e& alliance, valued at over $1 billion, aims to expand AI-driven cloud solutions across the region, supporting enterprises in adopting AI to accelerate their digital transformation efforts.

Similarly, Digital Dubai’s collaboration with Microsoft focuses on advancing Dubai’s digital infrastructure through AI, emphasizing the city’s ambition to become a global leader in AI innovation.

Is Quantum Computing the Next Big Leap for AI?

Quantum computing is increasingly recognized as a transformative technology for industries with high computation demands, particularly aviation.

At GITEX Global 2024, a session titled 'Quantum Maturation: Introducing The "Quantum Mobility Quest"' showcased the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize aerospace.

This technology can handle complex computations that traditional systems struggle with, presenting an opportunity for significant advancements in aircraft design and operational efficiency.

Isabell Gradert, Vice President of Central Research & Technology at Airbus, emphasized this potential by stating, “Aviation is embedded in the tapestry of our global-leading industries and is one with the highest computation needs. Quantum computing is seen as the next big game-changer in the aviation industry and has the potential to solve the most complex aerospace challenges and create a paradigm shift in the way aircraft are built and flown. This is a very exciting time.”

Her remarks underline the excitement and promise that quantum computing holds for reshaping the future of aviation.
