Red Hat highlights evolution of AI in

Middle East at Red Hat’s EMEA AI

Open Talks

July 29, 2024 9

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.
