Ai Everything Global 2025 officially launched in the UAE with a dynamic opening day, setting the stage for the world’s largest public-private AI gathering. Organized by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and KAOUN International in collaboration with GITEX GLOBAL, the event brings together AI pioneers and global leaders across Abu Dhabi and Dubai from February 4-6, fostering cross-continental collaboration and redefining AI innovation.
Held at St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, the Ai Everything Summit marked the beginning of this groundbreaking event, featuring thought-provoking discussions, cutting-edge insights, and a packed audience eager to explore the transformative power of AI.
AI’s Transformative Power: Keynote Insights from UAE Leaders
In an inspiring keynote, H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Adviser to the UAE President & Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), emphasized AI’s growing influence worldwide:
“Every generation in history has believed they lived in extraordinary times, but today, AI is truly redefining what’s possible. We are witnessing the dawn of the Age of Intelligence, with limitless potential fueled by rapid AI advancements. Open-source technologies are fostering unprecedented collaboration, empowering societies to harness AI’s full capabilities.”
Additionally, H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications, highlighted the economic imperative of AI accessibility:
“To make AI an integral part of daily life, it must be economically viable. Our goal is to deploy AI solutions that enhance quality of life while ensuring broad accessibility at an optimal economic value.”
AI Disrupting Industries: Groundbreaking Discussions at the Summit
The Ai Everything Summit gathered distinguished government officials, technology executives, and AI innovators for compelling debates on AI’s expanding influence across key industries such as energy, education, healthcare, finance, government, Industry 4.0, and the creative economy.
Hollywood Meets AI: The End of Retakes?
A standout session featured Jonathan Bronfman, co-founder of Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies (MARZ) and the creator of Vanity AI, a groundbreaking tool used in Hollywood hits like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Stranger Things, and Squid Game.
In his session, “The Death of Retakes: How AI is Rewriting Hollywood in Minutes”, Bronfman revealed how generative AI is revolutionizing film production, making high-quality visual effects more cost-effective and efficient.
“AI will dramatically reduce production costs while preserving Hollywood’s signature cinematic spectacle,” he stated. “However, AI won’t replace human creativity—storytelling and artistic vision remain irreplaceable.”
The Ethical AI Dilemma: Balancing Innovation and Regulation
Another highlight was the panel discussion, “How is AGI Accelerating? Navigating the Growing Pressure to Fast-Track AI Innovation”.
Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley, stressed the urgent need for AI regulations:
“The argument that regulation stifles innovation is misleading—unregulated digital technologies can cause severe harm. AI experts don’t fully understand how some of these systems operate, and when they malfunction, nobody knows how to fix them.”
Similarly, MIT Media Lab’s Kate Darling showcased a live robotic demonstration, discussing the growing integration of humans and AI-powered machines.
“AI is not just about technology—it’s about how humans interact with it. The biggest shift will come when people integrate AI-driven robotics into their everyday lives, unlocking unexpected societal changes.”
AI’s Role in Global Power Shifts
As the first major AI event following landmark industry developments, including the $500 billion Stargate Project and DeepSeek’s emergence, Ai Everything Global 2025 provided a strategic platform for examining AI’s geopolitical and economic impact.
During a key discussion, Stephen Burt, Chief Data Officer for the Government of Canada, addressed AI’s role in disrupting Big Tech’s dominance:
“AI is becoming more accessible, enabling innovation beyond Silicon Valley. The real winners in AI will be those who leverage open data, infrastructure, and collaboration.”
Meanwhile, Ott Velsberg, Chief Data Officer of the Government of Estonia, outlined AI’s transformational role in governance:
“A proactive AI-driven government is the future. By integrating AI in public services, we’ve seen data-driven companies grow revenues by 60%—that’s €5.7 million daily. International collaboration in AI is now stronger than ever.”
Dubai to Host Ai Everything Exhibition
Following the highly successful summit in Abu Dhabi, the event moves to Dubai for a major AI exhibition on February 5-6 at Expo City Dubai.
Attendees will experience exclusive showcases of the world’s most advanced AI innovations, featuring over 500 AI companies and startups from 70+ countries.
