The Emirates Council for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transactions held its fifth meeting in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain, and the most important developments and achievements of the Council for the year 2018 were presented. We also saw the developments and recommendations of the Data Committee and the Cybersecurity Committee. In the coming year, we will work to develop the data system and activate the role of cybersecurity related to artificial intelligence systems. We are all confident that the role of the Emirates Council for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transactions will increase in importance as the wheel of technological development accelerates in the country and the world. We must prepare the UAE for a future based on these advanced technologies.
