“Powerful insight What stood out to me most is that the barrier isn’t technology — it’s trust, talent, and transformation readiness. When 77% cite data privacy and over half struggle to find AI talent, that’s not a systems problem — that’s a capability and culture gap.The UAE has already done what most countries are still debating: infrastructure, regulation, and national AI alignment. That’s rare. Now it becomes a leadership challenge — not a technical one.The stat about change management being a stronger enabler than barrier is the real signal here. It proves that when organizations invest in upskilling, transparency, and internal buy-in, adoption accelerates naturally.Healthcare AI in the UAE won’t be won by who has the biggest models — it’ll be won by who builds the most AI-ready teams.Exciting window of opportunity. The next 3–5 years will define who leads the region.”
