Why now
Three voices who know AI from the inside.
For years, those building AI have agreed on one thing: its potential impact is immense.
“
AI is probably the most important thing humanity has ever worked on. I think of it as something more profound than electricity or fire.
Sundar PichaiCEO Google / AlphabetWorld Economic Forum, Davos, 2018“
AI is the new electricity. About 100 years ago, electricity transformed every major industry. AI has advanced to the point where it has the power to transform every major sector in the coming years.
Andrew NgAI pioneer, founder of Google BrainAI Frontiers, 2017“
AI is no longer a clever app or a single model. It is essential infrastructure. Every company will use it. Every country will build it.

After two days with 15 SME leaders in Cairo, what struck me is how quickly they moved from understanding AI to inventing with it. Start with one workflow, take the quick wins, and bring your people with you. The impact on a company is tremendous.

What participants take away

I was hesitant to attend, because AI is like a deep ocean, new technology every day. But the sessions gave me real support and a lot of encouragement to start using it in my business. I'll be joining the next one.
