Agenda Day 3: AI for the Digital Economy
Sessions – AI for the Digital Economy
Abstract:
The presentation will explore recent economic research on the impact of AI on the economy. It will examine the sectors in which AI is being adopted, where it is making an impact, and highlight notable success stories. It will also discuss how the adoption of AI affects employment for new entrants to the labour market as well as established workers.
Abstract:
A number of challenges of the modern world could potentially be resolved at a low level with innovative materials. However, new types of materials need to be designed for such applications, incorporating characteristics of biological systems such as self-healing capabilities, memory functions, and the ability to evolve differently depending on external conditions. This presentation will discuss methodologies to design such artificial living systems and explore their areas of application. In particular, it will consider the case of a spiral economy, where the extraction of carbon from the atmosphere in advanced functional forms and its utilisation in the construction industry could allow significant reductions in CO₂ emissions. Another example will highlight the use of new materials for novel, beyond–von Neumann computational solutions, enabling a significant reduction in the power consumption of modern data centres.
Abstract:
Companies are rushing to create lightweight, application specific AI models that will act relatively autonomously to carry out high-level instructions of humans. Networks of these agents allow very liquid and novel types of investment, but also open up new opportunities for fraud and unfair competition.
Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence is now the cornerstone of global technological transformation, powering innovation across economies and industries. In the UAE and the wider region, AI is not only accelerating progress but also shaping sovereign capabilities and knowledge-driven growth. At the heart of this journey is the Technology Innovation Institute’s Falcon large language model family, which has established the UAE as a global leader in open-source AI and demonstrated how frontier models can serve both local priorities and international collaboration.
