AI Can’t Replace Humanity: Experts Call for a Balance

AI is changing many industries, but people think human skills will still be very important in the future. The UAE, which has positioned itself as a global hub for AI innovation with initiatives like the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and investments in smart cities, is also investing heavily in developing people’s capabilities.

AI is good at things like doing the same tasks over and over, checking data, and even being creative. Yet, many think people are still better at understanding feelings, leading others, thinking about what is right and wrong, and working together. These skills will probably be very important for success in the future. Teachers around here are stepping up their game! Schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are starting to teach stuff like soft skills, AI, and basic computer skills during class. They’re doing this to get students ready for the fast-changing job market. Companies are starting to see that tech skills and people skills are super important for workers. One HR manager in Abu Dhabi said that even though AI can churn out data, you still need people to figure out what it actually means for everyone.

AI is helping doctors in the UAE find illnesses faster, which is great for healthcare. Still, it’s that human touch between patients and their care team that really makes a difference in getting better. And in finance, AI is making things run smoother, but when it comes to making smart choices about investments, risk, and who to trust, you still need a human’s point of view.

Experts in the UAE are saying something quite simple: the UAE is doing great with AI, but its real advantage will be how well it prepares its citizens. The future for workers there depends on finding the right mix of tech and people-skills, so innovation stays true to things like being kind, creative, and doing what’s right.
