Presight, Middle East’s top big data analytics company powered by Generative AI, hosted a workshop on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) for the public sector that took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in partnership with Open Innovation AI – an Abu Dhabi-based software company.

The three-day workshop that was held, as part of the AI Enablement Initiative from July 22-24, was attended by Ethiopia’s Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh and several high-level Ethiopian Government officials.

Designed to equip high-level government leaders with knowledge and insight into generative AI, the workshop covered big data analytics and other important technologies that could be deployed to support government decision making, policy, planning and other aspects of public sector work.

It also highlighted the potential of generative AI to enhance public services and increase government efficiency.

Ethiopia’s Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh, said: “Today, AI is transforming businesses, industries, government and societies, all around the world.

“For us, the timely and prudent use of AI applications is a strategic imperative for our nation's future competitiveness and growth. In that spirit, investing in AI education and training is essential to build a workforce capable of developing AI solutions and realising the full potential of this technology.

“Workshops such as these are a positive step towards achieving this.”

Dr Adel Alsharji, COO of Presight, said: “The AI Enablement Initiative demonstrates Presight's dedication to supporting Ethiopia in its journey towards innovation and technological growth.

“Presight was honoured to host senior representatives of the government to discuss the potential of AI in public services and share our international expertise in this area.
