Red Hat highlights evolution of AI in Middle East at Red Hat's EMEA AI

Open Talks

The Middle East is quickly establishing itself as a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)

innovation, thanks to large investments made to improve productivity, safety, and reliability of

the AI-powered tools. Several industry leaders are driving this shift to improve business outcomes

by improving technology and broadening its applications across key sectors. At the forefront of
this change is Red Hat, a leader in open-source solutions, leveraging AI to drive business efficiency

and support regional sustainability goals.

The Hype Cycle

At the recent Red Hat's EMEA AI Open Talks, Red Hat shed light on several key advancements in
artificial intelligence (AI) and the company's perspective on them. The discussion addressed the

tremendous expansion and excitement that the AI industry has experienced, leading some to

speculate that the hype cycle around AI is nearing its end. However, in the Middle East, AI's
enormous potential continues to spark significant investments, driving innovation and economic

growth.

Red Hat emphasized the importance of practical AI applications, ensuring that the technology
remains influential and productive. While hype surrounding generative artificial intelligence

(GenAI) persists, it has transcended the peak of inflated expectations. In 2024, projects utilising

other AI techniques – either alone or in conjunction with GenAI – that have standardised
procedures to facilitate implementation is expected to yield greater benefits. AI leaders should

therefore combine developments from all stages of the ‘Hype Cycle’ to create composite AI

techniques as the foundation for future system architectures in order to maximise benefits.
