Dubai AI Week will wrap up with the unveiling of winners from the “Dubai AI Week Hackathon: Agentic AI,” where top tech minds gathered to design autonomous AI agents capable of tackling real-world challenges without human intervention.
Held at Area 2071 in Emirates Towers, the hackathon drew innovators focused on improving daily life in Dubai through AI solutions targeting industries like real estate, travel, and logistics. The event was part of a broader initiative to accelerate the city’s position as a global hub for AI-driven progress.
Maryam Al Amri, CEO of Oman-based Matterz Group and a hackathon mentor, emphasized the importance of aligning AI with human needs.
“True innovation responds to real human needs,”
she said, urging teams to think critically about the broader social and economic implications of their projects.
Many of the entries proposed AI tools to streamline decision-making, cut operational costs, and enhance service delivery. Al Amri noted that some real estate companies have already opened talks with teams to explore practical adoption of their concepts.
She praised the overall quality of submissions, which ranged from near-market-ready prototypes to early-stage concepts with strong potential. The event, she added, provides a powerful springboard for transforming promising ideas into real-world applications, backed by both government and private sector interest.
