Dr. Shameer Khader of Sanofi underscored the importance of AI in revolutionizing drug discovery, advocating for AI to optimize processes, reduce costs, and accelerate the drug development timeline.
Next-Gen Mobility
Mobility was another key theme, with GITEX GLOBAL 2024 focusing on autonomous vehicles, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and advanced charging systems. Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) unveiled a palm-based payment system, set to replace card-based ticketing by 2026. This innovation will promote cashless transactions and encourage public transportation use. Additionally, Zapata’s Airscooter, capable of reaching speeds of 63 mph, gave attendees a glimpse into the future of personal urban mobility.
Tackling Cybersecurity Challenges
Cybersecurity was a significant topic, especially as global cybercrime damage is expected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. The event's Cybersecurity Day brought together leaders like H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, UAE Government Cybersecurity Head, who shared insights into how AI aids in early threat detection. AI has already been instrumental in reducing fraud in the U.S., with Todd Conklin from the U.S. Department of the Treasury noting a nearly $600 million reduction in fraud due to AI models.
The Role of 5G in Shaping Future Technologies
The Intelligent Connectivity Conference also spotlighted how AI and 5G technologies are central to building a hyperconnected future. With 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technologies, industry leaders discussed how this network would revolutionize telecommunications and improve transportation efficiency. For instance, 5G enables autonomous vehicles to make more accurate decisions, enhancing safety.
Innovations such as the Nissan Hyper Force, an all-electric supercar with 5G SIM cards, and e&’s human-digital advisors, combining holograms and AI, showcased the transformative power of 5G-A technologies.
AI’s Role in Building a Smarter Future
GITEX GLOBAL 2024 provided a unique platform for seeing how AI is poised to reshape multiple industries. Peng Xiao, CEO of G42, emphasized that AI has the potential to drive economic growth across sectors like healthcare, biotech, energy, and financial services. AI’s ability to seamlessly integrate information and intelligence is key to unlocking new opportunities.
In conclusion, GITEX GLOBAL highlighted how technological innovations like AI, advanced mobility, and cybersecurity solutions are shaping a smarter, more connected future.
