The launch took place during the inaugural Dubai Al Week 2025, held under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan and organised by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), an initiative of the Dubai Future Foundation, from April 21 to 25 across the Museum of the Future, AREA 2071 at Emirates Towers, and multiple other locations across Dubai.

Sheikh Hamdan said, “Dubai will be the destination of choice for those who are seeking to lead the future of artificial intelligence. We will continue to support impactful initiatives that showcase the promising and diverse applications of Al, and the opportunities it offers to accelerate economic growth and advance progress across government, education, and society.”
