At DEWA, we are committed to exchanging expertise and best practices that accelerate digital transformation and enhance the use of disruptive technologies in all areas of government work. This contributes to achieving the UAE Strategy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which aims to strengthen the UAE’s position as a global hub for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and increase its contribution to a knowledge-based national economy that depends on innovation and future technological application,” said Al Tayer.
”The ‘AI Procurement in a Box’ will contribute to expanding government adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies including AI. It also enhances the competitiveness and efficiency of government organisations, as it provides a reliable tool to manage AI procurement, which is a key pillar to enhance their digital transformation,” he added.
