AI Is The Future, Says Emirati Entrepreneur Amira Sajwani

"Artifical intelligence (AI) is not just a trend; it's the future."  

So said Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, founder and CEO of PRYPCO, and co-founder of Amali Properties in a conversation with Inc. Arabia on the sidelines of this year’s Dubai AI and Web3 Festival staged in September. 

According to Sajwani, businesses that fail to get on the AI bandwagon risk falling behind in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. “AI is going to take over like the internet did," she declared.  

Sajwani also revealed that all the enterprises she is involved with are actively looking for ways to incorporate AI within its operations. And for other businesses seeking to do the same, she had this suggestion to share: “The first thing that a company should do is look at where their pain points are, what are things that are today not easy for them or not smooth or could be improved? And then you look at, what the AI applications could come into play that role. And I think anybody that says AI doesn't apply to their industry is just not thinking hard enough.” 

At the end of day, Sajwani is clear about the need for action, saying, “Pretend like it’s tomorrow, and take action now.”
