A recent conference in the UAE focused on "What matters, radiology in emergencies" with Dr. Taleb Al Mansoori, President of the Conference, highlighting the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology. AI aims to accelerate work and save time in hospitals by enabling early diagnosis and guiding treatment plans. Dr. Osama Al Bastaki, Consultant at Rashid Hospital, noted that AI has made disease detection and diagnosis easier and faster, particularly in analyzing medical images such as strokes. The use of AI has improved healthcare quality by facilitating the analysis of large amounts of data, enhancing recovery chances, and making radiologists' tasks more efficient.

The framework, developed by independent experts through a "third-way" governing model, establishes safety standards and provides incentives for developers who opt-in, including legal protections under state law. This voluntary system, which includes third-party assessments and public disclosure of safety standards, is seen as a pragmatic approach to governance that will help keep residents safe while preserving innovation in AI development.

The Boston Consulting Group and the Aspen Institute Central Europe have forecasted that more than 40% of jobs, affecting around 2.3 million workers, will be affected by Gen AI by 2035. Specifically, approximately 600,000 roles are expected to undergo major changes requiring extensive retraining.
