Realize the potential of AI, says Huda Alqasimi
Prof. Huda Al Qasimi, Co-Chair of the Future Council for Cyber Security under the World Economic Forum and co-chair of the Emirates Digital Association of Women, said that Indians still need to realize India's global potential in the world market, including artificial intelligence.
