During the activity, Dr Shaikha Eshaa bint Mohammed bin Hamad Al Khalifa provided a comprehensive understanding of the concept of artificial intelligence and its employment in professional work. She detailed the types of applications and different tools for artificial intelligence, and the mechanisms for applying the concepts and tools in a practical context.
She further emphasised the importance of using advanced technology to improve the quality of daily work. She highlighted that artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance the capabilities of employees and administrators, but it is crucial to set limits and capabilities to prevent it from exceeding them.
Additionally, Dr Shaikha Eshaa also stressed that people must be made aware of artificial intelligence and not rely solely on it, underlining that the outputs of artificial intelligence must be reviewed in anticipation of any unexpected risks.
