The global AI landscape is undergoing a seismic shift with the announcement of groundbreaking initiatives, including the $500 billion Stargate project—the largest AI infrastructure initiative in history, with UAE’s active participation.
The meteoric rise of DeepSeek has further intensified global AI competition, redrawing technological power dynamics.
Against this backdrop, Ai Everything Global, the world’s largest public-private AI gathering, will take place from February 4-6, 2025, across Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Organized by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) in affiliation with GITEX GLOBAL, the event will bring together AI’s most influential stakeholders to debate, innovate, and set new industry benchmarks.
The summit will host over 200 speakers, 150+ investors managing $70 billion in assets, and 500+ chief AI and tech executives from 70+ countries. Discussions will cover key topics such as open-source AI, energy-intensive data centers, and the evolving AI economy. The event will be held at St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, a rising nexus for AI and strategic investments.
Faisal Al Bannai, Advisor to the UAE President for Strategic Research and Advanced Technology Affairs, emphasized the UAE’s commitment to fostering global AI collaboration.
“AI is not just reshaping industries; it is redefining intelligence itself. The UAE is championing innovation to drive equitable AI solutions for humanity.”
Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of DWTC, highlighted AI’s transformative potential.
“The AI race is open to all—from tech giants to startups, from powerful nations to emerging economies. Ai Everything will showcase both the opportunities and risks of this paradigm shift.”
The event will feature global leaders such as Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for AI; Vasi Philomin, VP of Generative AI at AWS; and Stuart Russell, AI pioneer from UC Berkeley. At Expo City Dubai, attendees can explore AI’s impact across industries, with top tech powerhouses such as ASUS, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, IBM, Oracle, and Zoom leading the revolution.
