Riyadh's Global AI Summit Explores Human-AI Interaction

The third edition of the Global AI Summit, organized by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) in Riyadh, will review the international interest in data and AI, given the increasing growth in this sector and its impact on decision-making and business facilitation.
Around 120 dialogue sessions and workshops will discuss the relationship between the human mind and AI and whether it is based on integration or competition, the extent of compatibility between the capabilities of AI and human capabilities and the impact of this interaction on making and enhancing human decisions, in addition to understanding the capabilities of these technologies and assessing the extent to which they can achieve the public benefit of humanity
From September 10 to 12, participants and attendees from more than 100 countries will tackle how AI assists humans, especially in providing insights, analyzing data, and harmonizing in an integrated relationship in various aspects of psychological, social, and cultural life related to the use of these technologies, in addition to supporting decision-making processes in vital areas such as healthcare, finance, business, developing technical and creative skills, and analyzing social networks.
The Global AI Summit will display the ability of AI systems to understand human language and enhance the learning experience and the extent to which human-AI interaction applications are developing in the way to a better quality of life for humans, considering the Kingdom's interest in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030, in which humans are its focus.
The summit is one of the key global summits in this field. Riyadh will witness an international presence from different continents to discuss the dimensions of AI and agree on formulating ideas and visions to explore the features of human-AI interaction.
The Global AI Summit is a remarkable opportunity for experts to exchange ideas and learn about the latest developments in a number of specializations, including learning technologies, accessibility and health, and human-robot interaction and its impact on supporting various aspects that help it adapt to these advanced technologies and employ them optimally while expanding the benefit of AI solutions in accelerating the wheel of development and growth in various fields to build a better present and future for subsequent generations.
The summit integrates with the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030 and its aspirations to transform the Kingdom into a global hub for advanced technologies under the leadership of SDAIA.

Bahrain’s Investcorp, a leading global alternative investment firm, announced on Monday a major change in its executive leadership team, saying that co-CEO Hazem Ben-Gacem will leave after 30 years as the company embarks on a major management reshuffle in an effort to boost returns.

In a statement, Investcorp said co-CEO Rishi Kapoor had been appointed vice chairman and chief investment officer while Executive Chairman Mohammed Alardhi would assume additional responsibilities previously undertaken by the co-CEOs.

The group has more than $52 billion in assets under management and is known for taking luxury brands public.

Ben-Gacem will leave Investcorp effective Nov. 1, but will continue as vice chairman of investment unit Investcorp Capital, the company said.

As part of the shake-up, Investcorp said it had consolidated and organized its investment activities in three units.

Dave Tayeh is taking the helm of Private Equity and Private Equity like, Herb Myers and Mike O'Brien will be in charge of Real Assets, and Jeremy Ghose will lead the Credit business.

Yusef Al-Yusef will be leading the Global Distribution Platform.

Mohammed Alardhi, Executive Chairman at Investcorp, said: “As we increase our focus on leveraging the strength of our existing investment platform, we recognize it is the right time to broaden our executive leadership to support our future growth plans.”

“Rishi and Hazem have helped lead our business from strength to strength in the last several years after we launched our growth journey,” he added.
