Samsung is set to unveil its next line of mobile devices — likely the Galaxy S24 series — on January 17. The company’s Unpacked event will be one of the first major smartphone reveals of 2024, and the new devices are tipped to include several AI-powered features alongside the usual camera and processor upgrades.

Samsung typically uses new camera technologies to elevate its Galaxy phones over previous models. This year, however, AI is expected to feature heavily in the S24 lineup. The smartphones will be the first new devices to include Galaxy AI, which the company has already described as a “comprehensive mobile AI experience” during a teaser announcement last November.

Various rumors and leaks suggest that we should also see a titanium chassis design, along with flatter edges for the top-of-the-line Ultra model.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the DCAI, commented on the initiative’s potential: “This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
