ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Countries around the world need to come together to understand the advantages of using artificial intelligence, with the rapidly-evolving technology set to play a crucial role in future economies, Brunei’s finance minister told Rudaw on Wednesday.
“Artificial intelligence is going to evolve very quickly, every government will need to react to this development so that they can advance their economy,” Liew Abdullah, Brunei’s minister of finance and economy, told Rudaw’s Sangar Abdulrahman on the sidelines of the World Government Summit in Dubai.
Abdullah said that world governments need to work together and learn from each other to properly utilize AI.
“It is not something that individual countries or governments can do on their own,” he stressed.
According to Abdullah, governments need to look after the “certain segments of the population” who will be left behind due to not being able to catch up with the quick developments of AI.
“Many governments are emphasizing on lifelong learning so that you can continue to evolve yourself, to adapt to the new environment, so that you can catch up,” he said.
