00:00Good morning. As-salamu alaykum and welcome to Inc.Arabia's next-gen AI Summit 2025.
00:16At Inc.Arabia, we always believe that the most meaningful innovation happens when local context meets global ambition.
00:23And this is the region where we're seeing this truly unfolding in real time.
00:30So mainly we're here to share some of the experiences that we have in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and how we're using AI to, let's say, to improve our services and how we can better diplomacy using the latest AI technologies that are out there.
00:58And I think when we get a lot of individuals from different sectors cooperating together and learning from each other, I think this is where real advancements in AI can happen.
01:09So I'm here today at Inc.Arabia's next-gen AI Summit and very insightful panels, great audience as well and very engaging discussions.
01:19Well, first, we'd like to thank you guys for organizing this event. This is a great event for us to be out there, to meet with people, to meet with people from the public sector, from the private sector, entrepreneurs, people who are interested in the industry.
01:34And we learn a lot. That's number one. And number two, we meet a lot of great people. We make great connections that expand our business, expand our circle of connections.
01:42So why I'm here is to share what we've been doing from an AI perspective for the region.
01:50And I'm hoping to learn a bit more in terms of what others are doing because it is a fast-paced industry.
01:57And so it's important to learn and share what we're doing so that it's an inclusive transformation.
02:02So it's been a really enjoyable event. I really enjoyed joining the panel to talk about investing in AI in the region.
02:10And it has been wonderful to network with fellow kind of investment professionals.
02:14So today I'm at the next-gen AI Summit. And it's one of those events where I was able to interact with peers and we were able to share quite a lot of information and their own experiences.
02:25We all come from different backgrounds. So we tend to learn from each other given that AI is an emerging field and we need to pick up as much as we can.
02:34I'm here today at Inc. Arabia's next-gen AI Summit.
02:37And we've been discussing some of the most relevant topics about how you actually make AI part of an organization and how you turn companies that might not be AI native into AI native companies.
02:48It was a really inspiring panel where we were able to discuss from many different angles, both from a startup, more government-based, more security-based, how do we deal with these problems related to AI and how do we tackle AI in the future so that our companies can benefit from it.
