AI is evolving faster than the rules that govern it. In an intimate fireside chat, H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, explores how nations and their brightest in technology can build effective, forward-thinking policy. The discussion will focus on aligning innovation with accountability and regulation that keeps humanity in control of technologies like non-human intelligence.
