Technology is more and more turning into a defining pillar of diplomacy and international coverage around the globe, and the UAE aims to play a number one position in aligning global players round shared frameworks, a senior official informed The National.
On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Omran Sharaf, UAE Assistant Foreign Minister for Advanced Science and Technology, stated the nation is persisting with its efforts in synthetic intelligence, superior applied sciences and science-driven options to deal with nationwide and global challenges.
“The UAE is making it more and more clear that technology is becoming a vital vertical within our foreign policy,” Mr Sharaf stated.
In 2017, the nation grew to become the primary to appoint a minister of state for synthetic intelligence, charged with driving the nationwide technique to grow to be a global AI chief by 2031. But the UAE’s tech ambitions lengthen nicely past its borders.
Amid a polarised geopolitical panorama, the UAE aims to grow to be a bridge bringing global players collectively and creating consensus round a shared framework, stated Mr Sharaf. He stated a divided world may wrestle to set requirements and ethics guidelines.
“If you reflect the political polarisation on to the tech and science landscape, that means that we’ll end up with different codes of ethics, different sets of standards, and that’s very dangerous,” he stated. “You’d be creating an opportunity for irresponsible players to take advantage of loopholes” amid a scarcity of collective safety.
Earlier this 12 months, whereas talking at an AI summit in Geneva, Mr Sharaf warned the world towards appearing recklessly with new expertise.
“We want to see more alignment between global players in science, technology and space diplomacy efforts,” he informed The National. “We want to be able to have everyone working together, and everyone benefitting from such technologies.”
Addressing a Youth Dialogue organised and hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in New York, Mr Sharaf, who oversaw the UAE’s mission to Mars, opened the ground by talking about his position in main the historic endeavour in 2021, when the UAE grew to become the primary Arab nation to attain Mars.
The UAE has since made extra space historical past, with Sultan Al Neyadi, now UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, turning into the primary Arab astronaut to carry out a spacewalk throughout his mission on the International Space Station in 2023.
“When it comes to space, advanced tech and emerging tech, the UAE is always very ambitious,” stated Mr Sharaf. “We always want to take it to the next level, whether in space, AI or any other sector.”
