Journey to AI inspiration: our ambassadors in Dubai

AI Inspiration Journey: Our Ambassadors in DubaiDubai is a city where technology meets vision. This is where we sent our AI Ambassadors to attend the Dubai AI Festival, one of the world's most important gatherings of AI experts, leaders and innovators.

It wasn't just another conference. It was a journey to understand where AI is going, how it is perceived by leaders outside Europe and how it can be even closer to the real needs of businesses.

Dubai at the forefront of the global AI revolution

The UAE has made no secret of its desire to be a global leader in AI. And in Dubai, this was evident at every turn - not just from the presentations, but also from the way they view technology here. Not as a game, but as a strategy.

Our ambassadors were able to soak up this atmosphere first-hand - and bring it back to the Czech Republic, along with a number of inspiring insights.

What resonated at the festival?

One of the main themes was that AI was ceasing to be magic. It becomes a tool. And that's a good thing. AI's greatest strength is in its reliability and usability - not in surprising us.

Other ideas our ambassadors took away included:

• Specialisation over universality

  It's not about having one supermodel. The future belongs to orchestras of smaller, smarter models working together as specialists.

• Corporate data as a key advantage

  The value is not in public datasets. The real benefit comes where a company can work with its know-how - and make it safely available to AI.

• Transparency and control

  AI in companies must be explainable. It's important to know why and how it arrived at a particular outcome. And in some cases, the final decision is still up to the human

• AI without the cloud? Yes, it can.

  We were also intrigued by the company's hands-on presentation that allows you to run AI in-house. Small, powerful hardware, no cloud - yet plenty of possibilities.

What did they bring us from Dubai?

First of all, confirmation that going our own way with specialisation and respect for data makes sense. AI is changing fast and we want to be there. Not as passive observers, but as those who actively create its use in practice.

Dubai AI Festival wasn't just about technology for us. It was about energy, vision and the courage to think big. And that's exactly what we want to carry over into our projects.
