The Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions and Services Authority (ADSSSA) said it had recently organised a workshop covering the many uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in partnership with Khalifa University for Science and Technology.

The workshop, which reflects the strong ties between ADSSSA and local and international academic institutions, served as a strategic platform to exchange knowledge and experiences about AI and to discuss newer smart services aimed at facilitating the 'Machine Learning' process, including its eventual application across various fields, said the organisers.

The event was attended by Dr Rauda Al Saadi, Director General, ADSSSA and Dr Arif Sultan Al Hammadi, Executive VP, Khalifa University for Science and Technology and other senior officials.

During the workshop, a team from Khalifa University showcased a presentation about the most significant applications of 'Machine Learning,' a branch of AI concerned with the design and development of technologies that allow computers to gain 'learning' skills and converting software applications to more accurate applications in predicting results, they stated.

The presentation also featured a detailed discussion on latest research initiatives covering AI applications, which contribute to the development of various sectors and fields, they added.

The ADSSSA expressed its support for ongoing national efforts in AI and smart services, especially in the move to create an environment that is conducive to innovation, research and development, the forging of strategic partnerships with national entities from the public and private sectors and international organisations, and the enhancement and improvement of government services.-TradeArabia News Service
