DUBAI: Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Friday opened a temporary “Museum of the Future” as part of the 2018 World Government Summit that is set to run between Feb. 11-13 in Dubai.
The museum offers visitors an interactive experience about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and presents exhibitions on how it could impact different aspects of life in years to come.
The Dubai ruler was accompanied by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum on the tour.
Sheikh Mohammed shared his vision for the future of the UAE, saying: “The Museum of the Future is a unique incubator for futuristic innovations and design… We are determined to make the UAE a major contributor to future development.
“The UAE government sets an example to the governments of the world in adopting technological advancements as a driver for development. AI is key when we speak about tackling future challenges,” he added.
The soon-to-be-opened permanent version of the museum will open its doors in 2019 and is currently still in the construction phase. It is set to be an incubator for futuristic innovations and design.
