Jamal bin Huwaireb said, "Over the past years, the Knowledge Summit has proven

to be a one-of-its-kind global platform for disseminating insights, ideas, and best

practices to enhance knowledge generation and distribution. In line with this, every

year it convenes experts and specialists from different fields to exchange innovative

solutions that will support efforts to attain sustainable development at all levels. At

present, the summit reflects our relentless efforts to stay updated with Dubai's plans

to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) in all sectors to support digital transformation

and keep pace with global technological changes to ensure maximum readiness for

the future. As a result, this year's summit will focus on the most significant

challenges societies have been facing, including the development of human skills

and the role of the AI economy in determining the direction of different industries."

He added, "As years pass by, the Knowledge Summit has consolidated Dubai's

position as a global hub for knowledge and innovation by opening broad horizons
for discussion and interaction with a selection of global thinkers, innovators,

pioneers, and decision-makers. We anticipate that this year's event will present a
significant opportunity to broaden the scope of international collaboration,
