DUBAI: Smart Dubai Government Establishment, the technology arm of Smart Dubai Office, organised a one-day workshop for executives and technical teams from various Dubai government agencies to raise awareness on Dubai’s artificial intelligence service ‘Saad’, and outlined a development road map for artificial intelligence in Dubai.
In October 2016, Smart Dubai Government Establishment and Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED), in collaboration with IBM, launched ‘Saad’, the city’s first government service utilising artificial intelligence, powered by IBM Watson, to allow entrepreneurs and investors to ask questions related to setting up a business in Dubai, and to get real-time responses on various topics, including business licensing requirements and registration processes.
‘Saad’ is designed to understand natural language and ingest and comprehend massive amounts of data, learn and reason from its interactions, and provide responses that will aid users in deciding on correct courses of action.
