Dr Nick Bradshaw – CEO & Co-founder of The AI Media Group
Dr Nick Bradshaw, CEO at the AI Media Group stated, “The UAE was the first country in the world to elect a dedicated AI Minister of State and is one of the foremost countries when it comes to proactively implementing artificial intelligence initiatives across mainstream industries. AI Everything is a dedicated platform that supports AI thought-leadership worldwide and is held under the patronage of the UAE Prime Minister and Hosted by the UAE Minister of State for AI, the first edition of AI Everything succeeded in attracting more than 200 public sector representatives and Ministries from 4 continents – a previously unseen level of government attendance at any technology-inspired event.”
AI Everything is one of the world’s largest gatherings of Data Scientists, C Level decision makers, academics and technology providers will gather. Quoting His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai, “Artificial Intelligence is the next major revolution of our times – our goal is to be one of the most advanced countries in this regard.”

Bradshaw concluded, “Both Africa and the Middle East are perfect trading partners, solutions from these regions cover a wide gambit of industries and use cases such as safer cities to sustainable development goals allied to rapidly growing and vibrant academic communities, prime examples being the Deep Learning Indaba community in Africa and the Mohamedbin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. UAE companies and investors could do well to look to Africa for new Enterprise clients and investment opportunities for the growing number of start-ups emerging in this region. There is a dearth of seed and early stage funding in Africa with a burgeoning number of AI start-ups looking for backers – it’s a good time to be exploring these opportunities and the AI Media Group can help B2B AI vendors and 4IR investors alike tap into them via our vast knowledge of the regional market and local start-up scene.”
