In a transformative move that puts artificial intelligence at the core of urban living, Abu Dhabi is set to unveil the world’s first fully cognitive AI city — Aion Sentia — by 2027. Unlike traditional “smart cities”, Aion Sentia will harness the power of AI to actively learn from and adapt to its residents’ behaviours, creating an intuitive and personalised urban experience.

The surge in international demand has rallied the world’s largest tech and start-up event to scale even higher and bigger in 2023, spearheading a global tech takeover across two Dubai mega venues next month.
