Key AI Applications
Initially, MCIT and Scale AI will identify key areas where AI can optimise processes and deliver significant societal benefits. Planned applications include:
- Legal and Regulatory Improvements: AI-powered judicial research tools and automated regulatory review processes.
- Healthcare Enhancements: Streamlining healthcare administration for better patient experiences.
- Future Expansion: AI-driven solutions for personalised education, urban planning, financial systems, and sustainability initiatives.
"Applying AI-driven approaches will allow for better legal efficiencies through a civil judicial research tool, improved regulatory review processes through automation, and enhanced healthcare administration for better patient experiences," the company said.
AI Upskilling
As a key component of the partnership, Scale AI will lead an AI upskilling initiative aimed at training Qatari government employees, students, and schoolchildren through targeted workshops and hands-on sessions. This will help build local AI expertise, reducing reliance on external resources, according to the company.
