It is said :
In the internet age , the BIG will not
overtake the SMALL
The FAST will overtake the SLOW !
In following earlier blogs ( sent as emails to Policy Makers ) , I
had urged the Prime Minister to appoint a ,
Technology Evaluation and Acquisition
Minister [ TEAM ]

Too Late ? As always ! [ 19 Sept

Those in need to know how tiny Dubai is all set to
overtake the mighty India , may want to read the following news appearing at :
Dubai just appointed a “ State Minister for Artificial Intelligence
“
A NEW PHASE
Governments around
the world are beginning to understand the potential and importance of artificial intelligence (AI).
International
acceptance has spread with the implementation of AI regulations, like what has been created
in Germany. For others, like the U.S., incorporating AI begins
with recommendations on how to move forward with the tech.
In the United Arab
Emirates (UAE), however, the government took AI adoption one step further by
installing a minister in-charge
of AI.
The UAE’s first State Minister for Artificial Intelligence is 27-year-old
Omar Bin Sultan Al Olama.
Olama is one of six newly appointed ministers, three of whom were women,
who represent a new phase in the UAE’s pursuit of “ future
skills, future sciences and future technology, as we prepare for the centenary to
ensure a better future for our generations,” UAE Vice-President and Prime
Minister Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum said during Thursday’s
announcement, according
to Gulf
News.
IMPORTANCE OF AI
As tech companies begin to center their business models around
AI, it’s no surprise that a country like the UAE and a city like Dubai — which has invested heavily
in technologies that are future-focused — want to be at the forefront
of this development.
Dubai, for example, plans to put robot
cops on the streets by 2030 and
they’ve also been pushing to get autonomous vehicles on the
city’s roads and in its skies.
AI is also among the major
research areas of the Dubai
Accelerators program.
“We want the UAE to become the world’s most prepared country for artificial
intelligence,” said Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammad.
Aside from AI, Dubai is also investing in a number of hyperloop
projects and even a plan to reach Mars.
=================================
Dear Policy Makers :
Since we already have a Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology ( MeIT ) for a long time , we are ahead of Dubai as far as AI is concerned
What we need is a Minister in charge of ANY type of technology ( examples shown in my blog ) which can benefit our country
In appointment of TEAM , we could still be FAST and have a " First Mover Advantage "
