H.E. Dr. Al Askar shed light on how the UAE and Abu Dhabi have already moved beyond the hypothetical with concrete AI use cases, noting for instance that last year, Abu Dhabi deployed machine learning capabilities to localize a cardiovascular disease risk calculator. This is estimated to reduce the operational costs in the health sector massively by proactively identifying these risks and treating them before they deteriorate.
In the education sector, H.E. Dr. Al Askar highlighted that Abu Dhabi has deployed a model to predict and improve student performance. Working with the police, Abu Dhabi Digital Authority has also developed a traffic Safety and accident prevention tool that utilizes traffic cameras to detect phone usage and seatbelt violation.
