An artificial intelligence company from the UAE known as G42 is working on several ChatGPT-powered platforms. The organization’s CEO Peng Xiao announced during a recent press conference that they were “working on the largest Arabic-language model” and noted that although “Arabic is a major body of language in the world, it is not served at all by the big players in the industry”.

G42 has also begun work on GovGPT, a chat service that will help find answers to government-related search queries, and ClimateGPT, a tool to “help the population be more engaged and participate in the climate programs we’re championing”.

Although Xiao didn’t reveal an exact date for the release of the new ChatGPT platforms, he did address AI’s potential impact and future regulation.

“The way to better regulate it is not to say ‘stop, don’t do anything, let’s figure this out’. The way to do this is to do more sandboxes, more cutting-edge experiments, with transparency, like we’re about to do with Toto Wolff’s F1 team, and involve regulators and governments to see what we are doing”.

Founded in Abu Dhabi, G42 has a global footprint and a team of 2,700 AI experts who provide solutions for molecular medicine, space travel, and more. The company recently made headlines when it partnered with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 to provide data and insights to improve the team’s performance.

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.

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.
