AI Guide

The United Arab Emirates has long understood the power of AI to transform society for the better. Dubai has already attracted USD 21.6 billion foreign direct investment in high-end technology transfers between 2015 and 2018 – propelling the UAE to achieve global recognition.

The Office of the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence engaged our content teams to assist in developing a guide on Artificial Intelligence in an effort to coordinate the development of the AI ecosystem in the UAE. We researched, developed, authored and designed easy-to-consume insights targeted towards general understanding of AI and its impact. The report was executed with an emphasis on domestic startups and incubator funds.

Rethinking Cities of Tomorrow: Human-Centric Approach

The city is a space of promise and peril, community and individual. For much of human history, cities have been the nexus point for social, cultural, and economic trends.

We stand at an inflection point in the story of cities. More people arriving in cities every day: 58% of the global population now live in urban areas. Technology continues to accelerate. Internet-enabled sensors, autonomous vehicles and high-speed networks are rewriting the rules of urban management and planning. Meanwhile, global climate change presents new challenges for resource management and protection of citizen wellbeing.

The urbanism of the previous century that prioritized efficiency in urban design and development to promote productivity growth, no longer seem sufficient to ensure the long-term sustainability of cities.

In this report, we examine the rise of a new urban model — the human centric city — its origins in Western cities led by Scandinavia, its new relevance for the rapidly developing cities of the emerging world, and the leadership position that rising global capitals such as Dubai are pursuing to define a new paradigm of human-centric urbanism for the future of cities.
