(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) With increasing role of machines and systems comes the risk of cyberattacks, deploying of artificial intelligence (AI) in defence systems is challenging but is required from the view of cyber security, a top minister said.
At the International Defence Conference, Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for AI, Digital Economy and Teleworking Applications, noted that securing of systems is as critical as defending the sovereignty of the country.
'The UAE is a country that looks ahead and plans proactively rather than reactively towards changes. AI will reshape the world as we know it. In the past, defence was focused on defending humans because humans were the source of productivity and returning of the economy as well, Al Olama said during a panel discussion.
