AI Unleashes Big Winds of Change as Global Economies Recalibrate for the $15.7 Trillion AI Future
Unprecedented AI breakthroughs and recent announcements stunned markets, sparking new race for AI domination among leading economies
The world’s emerging and most inquisitive tech leaders gather at Ai Everything Global to showcase and debate the changing trajectory and groundbreaking AI advancements in everything
Dubai, UAE – January 31, 2025: Following the announcement of monumental consortium-led AI projects, including the $500 billion Stargate – the largest AI infrastructure initiative in history, with the UAE participating in the AI consortium – and DeepSeek’s sudden rise to fame, AI has turned the tech world on its head. The groundbreaking announcements have shaken the very foundations of industries and economies; redrawing the technological power map and leaving no room for long-held assumptions, strategies or speculations.
As the year’s largest and most provocative global AI event to be hosted right after this week’s historic AI developments, Ai Everything Global will deep-dive into the ‘winds of change’ sweeping the world, from February 4-6, 2025, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) in affiliation with GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest tech show, it welcomes influential AI stakeholders to challenge and debate the status quo, while finding the new experience of consensus to move forward, from R&D to use-cases covering government, business, society, and core pillars of global economies.
Shifting Global Landscape: AI’s Strategic Inflection Point
The World Economic Forum’s ‘AI in Action’ 2025 report emphasizes that success lies in strategic application, while managing risks. With the US, Europe, China and rising, dynamic countries as the UAE vying to be at the forefront, AI is no longer confined to innovation but is a strategic lever for competitiveness and leadership, as we edge closer towards AI’s expected $15.7 trillion contribution to the world economy by 2030 (PwC).
Ai Everything Global
“From tech giants to fearless rookie upstarts, from large stronghold countries to ambitious young economies, from agriculture to government services, the AI race is opened to all. AI is on the cusp of levelling the playing field and if what is said about DeepSeek is true, then there shall be more power bestowed in the hands of the common people. This week at Ai Everything you shall experience the proponents and antagonists sparring it out and, with that, comes anomalous opportunities and risks as we challenge the conventional paradigm.”
Global Summit Tackles the Pulse of Current AI Dynamics
Hosted at the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, the rising nexus for AI and strategic investments, the “Big Winds of Change. It’s Ai in Everything Summit” features influential leaders, and interactive discussions on the shift in AI policies, speculations surrounding open-source R1, the bets for and against existing assumptions, the economics of building massive energy intensive data centers, new research, and other AI advancements and divergence.
The discussions closely align with the UAE’s intensive investments and ambitions to be at the forefront of AI adoption and progress worldwide. Following Abu Dhabi’s commitment to become the world’s first fully AI-native government and the launch of the Digital Strategy 2025-2027,alongside a wave of headline-making global alliances emphasize the region’s strategic intent.
Following the participation of UAE’s MGX in the $500bn Stargate consortium, Microsoft’s $1.5bn collaboration with the UAE’s leading AI company – G42 to develop responsible AI initiatives, and DAMAC’s $20 billion investment in US Data Centres, the event becomes a critical touchpoint for engaging with technologically ambitious countries, knowledge acceleration, and prolific public-private networking.

Faisal Al Bannai, Adviser to the UAE President and Secretary General of Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC); Jonathan Bronfman, creator of AI-powered tech used in Netflix blockbusters ‘Squid Game’ and ‘Stranger Things’; Vasi Philomin, VP of Generative AI, AWS; Sirisha Kadamalakalva, Managing Director & Global Head of AI/ML at Citi; Kate Darling, Research Scientist at MIT Media Lab; and Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
