Samsung has announced dates for its next Unpacked event, which will take place on July 26th at 7AM ET. The press release makes it obvious that new foldable smartphones will be unveiled at the show, which will presumably be the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and likely the Z Fold 5 as well. In addition, leaks suggest that a Galaxy Watch 6 reveal will take place, along with news on the latest Galaxy Tablets.

The flip-style foldables in Samsung’s lineup are expected to include lower-profile hinges, with the Flip upgrading its tiny second screen to something much larger.

For the first time, Samsung has some serious competition in the foldable genre, with Google recently releasing its own Pixel Fold and Motorola resurrecting the famous Razr brand of handsets in the form of the Razr Plus.

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 Dubai AI Seal’s goals include providing a clear framework for verifying AI providers, fostering business opportunities for AI companies, and acknowledging the industry’s strategic importance to Dubai’s economy. 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.
