Turning AI hype into real business impact: Insights from Singulier’s UAE AI Roundtable

AI is dominating conversations across industries, but moving from buzzwords to business impact remains a challenge. To explore this further, Singulier recently hosted an exclusive roundtable in Dubai, bringing together leaders from YPO, Talabat, and other key players to discuss the realities of scaling AI adoption.

Led by Singulier’s CEO, Rémi Pesseguier, the discussion focused on a major hurdle facing companies today: While AI enthusiasm is at an all-time high, many businesses struggle to transition from small-scale pilots to enterprise-wide implementation.

Key Insights:

• Data foundations and business objectives: Participants emphasised that while AI adoption is accelerating, the absence of robust data infrastructures and clearly defined business goals hampers effective scaling.

• Cross-functional collaboration: The discussion highlighted that AI should be viewed as a catalyst for business transformation rather than merely an IT initiative, underscoring the necessity for collaboration across various organisational functions.

• Compliance and governance: Establishing structured AI strategies, alongside adherence to compliance and governance standards, was deemed essential for sustainable success.

The roundtable also explored real-world AI applications, optimal technological frameworks, and actionable strategies to bridge the gap between innovation and execution.

Whether it’s scaling AI across your organisation or leveraging data to drive comprehensive transformation, our team provides the guidance and support necessary to ensure successful outcomes at every stage of the journey.
