A council for AI in Abu Dhabi

Artificial Intelligence council for Abu Dhabi

President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed, announced the creation of a council for artificial intelligence in Abu Dhabi. How will this affect data monitoring and cybersecurity in the UAE? Let's discuss.

President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan

"The council will develop plans and research programmes in collaboration with local and global partners to enhance Abu Dhabi's status in the fields of artificial intelligence and advanced technology."
  • The development of artificial intelligence is directly proportional to the development of the monitoring sphere.
  • AI can be used to analyze large volumes of data and identify trends and patterns, which in turn will allow companies to solve problems more effectively.
  • This is especially useful in the field of cybersecurity, where the well-being of a company depends on the speed of response to threats and attacks.
  • This directive is an important step in the technological development of the country.
  • And this, undoubtedly, will contribute to increasing the interest of local companies in extracting benefits from corporate data and strengthening the level of cybersecurity.

How will AI become a headache for companies

How will AI become not only a faithful assistant but also a headache for companies

Recently, the National Cyber Security Centre published a report on the impact of AI on cyber threats in the next two years.

What is important to emphasize from this report?
  • 1. Most cybercriminals already use AI in some way in their activities.
  • 2. Cyberattacks using AI are generally more effective and harder to detect.
  • 3. In the coming years, existing attacks will evolve and become more sophisticated. Artificial intelligence will help analyze data breaches faster and more efficiently, which can then be used to train AI models.
  • 4. Artificial intelligence will lower the barrier for entry into the profession for novice cybercriminals. This may lead to a trend of increasing information extortion in the coming years.

But there is also good news!

If cybercriminals are improving their AI skills, nothing stops us from doing the same.
Experts from the National Cyber Security Centre believe that more sophisticated uses of AI in cyber operations are highly likely to be restricted to threat actors with access to quality training data, significant expertise, and resources.
It is necessary to continue monitoring the development of this technology and work on improving mechanisms for protection against AI-based cyber attacks. Let's not forget to keep our finger on the pulse. We have time to become more advanced and stay one step ahead in this AI race.

Top Strategic Technology Trends 2024

Top Strategic Technology Trends 2024

Content

1. AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (AI TRiSM)

AI TRiSM is a concept of artificial intelligence that ensures the AI system is reliable, fair, and secure, while protecting data. Typically, AI TRiSM is used in many artificial intelligence applications to create a safe and dependable environment.

Gartner predicts that by 2026, companies implementing AI TRiSM will enhance decision-making accuracy by eliminating up to 80% of erroneous and unlawful information.

2. Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

CTEM helps organizations manage the impact of internal and external threats by identifying, assessing, and minimizing risks. This process includes:
  • Identifying critical assets most vulnerable to cyber attacks.
  • Assessing the likelihood of these assets being attacked.
  • Mitigating risks through the implementation of control measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, security policies, and other countermeasures.
Gartner forecasts that by 2026, organizations prioritizing security investments based on the CTEM program will reduce breaches by two-thirds.

3. Sustainable Technology

This is a system of digital solutions used to ensure:
  • Environmental sustainability.
  • Social responsibility (compliance with labor standards, quality service, safety).
  • Responsible corporate governance (transparency in company operations, customer data protection).
Gartner's forecast: by 2027, 25% of CIOs will have compensation linked to their sustainable technology impact.

4. Platform Engineering

This is the process of developing and creating platforms that provide infrastructure, tools, and services to support various applications and services. This approach is becoming increasingly popular in the modern software development industry as it significantly simplifies and accelerates the process of creating and supporting applications.

Gartner believes that by 2026, 80% of software development organizations will establish platform development teams as internal providers of reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery.

5. AI-Augmented Development

AI tools enable developers to save time on coding, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gartner predicts that by 2028, 75% of developers will use AI assistants for programming. At the beginning of 2023, their share was less than 10%.

6. Industry Cloud Platforms

These are specialized services tailored to address critical business tasks in specific industries.

Gartner's forecast: by 2027, over 50% of companies will use industry cloud platforms to expedite business initiatives implementation, whereas in 2023 this figure was less than 15%.

7. Intelligent Applications

This refers to consumer or business applications that utilize artificial intelligence methods to perform complex tasks, make forecasts, automate operations, etc.

According to Gartner's predictions, by 2026, 30% of new applications will use AI to launch personalized and adaptive user interfaces. In 2023, their share was only 5%.

8. Democratized Generative AI

Access to GenAI becomes more democratized due to the development of technologies, platforms, and tools that make it accessible and understandable to a wide audience.

Gartner believes that by 2026, over 80% of companies will leverage APIs and generative AI models and/or deploy applications with generative AI in production environments (in 2023, they were less than 5%).

9. Augmented Connected Workforce (ACWF)

ACWF is a concept that combines technologies and methods to enhance the productivity and efficiency of employees. The main idea is to use various innovative technologies (AI, IoT, data analytics, virtual and augmented reality) to create a connected and enhanced work environment.

Gartner Forecast: By 2027, 25% of CIOs will use augmented connected workforce initiatives to reduce time to competency by 50% for key roles.

10. Machine Customers

These are virtual assistants that act on behalf of a customer or organization as economic agents, acquiring goods or services in exchange for payment.

Gartner predicts that by 2028, 20% of digital stores adapted for humans will become outdated due to machine customers.
This is the list of trends provided by Gartner. We have tried to convey all the essential information to you as succinctly as possible without losing the essence. Thanks to AI, our world is changing at a tremendous speed. Therefore, it is crucial not to ignore these trends and gradually integrate them into your company to become even more efficient and reliable.
